Ati Rage IIc is old Rage64 card :( and it don`t have any 3d acceleration in Linux
You need at least Rage128 for 3d.
If You want xv acceleration in xfree86 You need xfree-gatos drivers.
Gatos works fine with Rage64 cards (my second card is Rage64 IIc+DVD)
but gennto in this moment don`t have gatos for xfree 4.3 :(
