The V550 is based on the nVidia TNT chip. You'll need to get XFree86
3.3.3, or better, in order to use it. Unfortunately Debian 2.1 doesn't
include a new enough version for your purposes. You'll want to install 
Debian 2.1 (aka slink) and then install a newer version of xfree86
from: 

http://ftp.netgod.net/x

You can do this somewhat automatically by using apt and adding:

deb http://ftp.netgod.net/ x/

to your /etc/apt/sources.list file.

Good Luck,
Gary
