If my memories are correctl then the 3D Rage _is_ supported in XFree 3.2
and the 3D Rage II in XFree 3.2A...
3.2A is not available as a .deb package, but I've seen several reports
of people simply replacing the Mach64 Xserver binary from 3.2 with the
one from 3.2A. Haven't tried this myself, but did do a similar thing
under Slackware last fall (3.1.2->3.1.2F) so it'd seem reasonable...
