Try the X Strike Force homepage for some beta packages:
http://www.debian.org/~branden/
Alternatively, do what I did with my TNT2:
1. install the Debian xserver-svga package just like normal
2. grab the archives with glx built into the X server
from nVidia (not the ones with -dyn at the end) from nVidia
3. put XF86_SVGA in /usr/local/bin and edit /etc/X11/Xserver
4. Put libGL.so.* in /usr/local/lib and run ldconfig -v /
Quake2 and Quake3 look wonderful, as does any/all other GL
stuff!
