Well, my card is an ATI (forget the exact model; something like
"Radeon A350" iirc). I used the fglrx package converted from RPM
available from ATI's web site. This provides xserver and GL/GLU libs.
If you go this route be aware that you will likely have to handle, by
hand, some conflicts between fglrx and the free xserver-xorg-video-ati
package. The fglrx package will happily overwrite any pre-existing GL
libs.
BTW, this was all in 32bit i386 (sorry for the off-topic).
