The Rage XL is an ancient chip. It might be able to do OpenGL, but only with
the Mesa drivers - standard Xorg install, in /etc/X11/xorg.conf select -
Section "Device"
Identifier "** ATI Radeon (generic) [radeon]"
Driver "ati"
#VideoRam 8192
# Insert Clocks lines here if appropriate
EndSection
uncomment DRI -
Section "DRI"
Mode 0666
EndSection
And build dri and agp into the kernel. But, it's slower than anything else
on the planet, except a blind monkey doing 3D drawings on a etch-a-scetch.
