1) run it as root, does it work?  If so, then it's a module problem.
2) I had some problems with the debian distro of the glide libs and
ended
   up compileing and installing my own from CVS(glide.sourceforge.net)
3) My 3dfx module didn't work with the 2.4.0-test* series, so you might
   be stuck as running as root for now.
4) Try Xfree4.0CVS and Glide3xCVS for accelerated OpenGL(although no
Glide)
   X4.0 is _soo_ much faster than 3.3.*
