FWIW, I never use the `runfgfs` script anyway.  If you installed to the
default path, you can just use `fgfs`.

"Appropriate modules" refers to the kernel modules for your video card.
It's generic because not everyone uses the same video card, and I didn't
want to maintain a HOWTO for every card under the sun.

I have an NVidia card, so I don't know what kernel module you need for
your Rage 128.  Look under /lib/modules for all of the install kernel
modules on your system.

Might look for docs at xfree86.org, mesa3d.org, dri.sf.net, and
linuxdoc.org.  Oh, and linuxnewbie.org:
