The Rage128 has decent 3D support with plain XFree86 4.x. Provided you
have enough video ram, a decent CPU, and the planets are properly aligned,
you can still do quite a bit with it.
I've ran UT, TuxRacer, glTron/Armagetron, QI/II and others on it
successfully in the past- with only minor coaxing. You may not be able to
do UT2003, or Q3A (very well) but you can get /some/ use from it still.
