Assuming the problem is that 3D acceleration isnt working:

Have you got /dev/agpgart setup ( ie the appropriate agpgart support
and direct rendering manager available either compiled in or loaded
as modules ), Have you turned on DRI in your XF86Config-4 file, is DRI
supported at the bit-depth you are running X in - the output of dmesg
and the contents of /var/log/XFree86.0.log (or wherever your distro
stores the startup output of X) will be helpful here.

The glixinfo program should also give you output with a line something like:

OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Radeon 20010402 AGP 1x x86/MMX

[ Obviously, the chipset details will vary from model to model ]
