Very few.  Matrox (MGA) and TGA for sure.  Look in the unstable/alpha/X11
directories on your favorite Debian ftp mirror for the included servers.
That's all that works at this point.

On a good note, you can pick up 4mb or 8mb original Matrox Millineums
for $50-80 these days since they've been discontinued.  (look in
newsgroups or auction sites such as www.ebay.com/aw)
