for 3D, you�re going to need the proprietary dri and fglrx drivers from ATI. They were posted on their German support site, and, while I could get them to sort of work under 9.0 (X worked in blissful 3-D, but going back to runlevel 3 gave me a messed-up/blitted console, I could not get the newer drivers to work on 9.1. There was a short thread on this a coupla months back - �ATI Radeon Drivers�
The other thing I just noticed, is that the latest kernel from MDK seems to include some fixes for the Radeon
good luck with it all - I must admit I gave up under 9.1 and bought a Ti4200 - what to do?
Actually - the ATI stuff work - but in case you have a NForce2 Board you have to compile your Kernel and apply some patches. The problem is that the agpgart module has not been adapted to recognise also never ATI cards - so - only possibility is to patch it yourself.

I have however to say - that I'm not really able to play UT2003 the way I could using the NVidia card - under Nvidia - it's much smoother and no Fast Dia-Show (even if stat fps shows me 60fps). The reason I switched was Noise. Hi hate noisy computers - and the NVidia cards are just tooo loud.
