Just use apt-get install glide2-base and device3dfx-source.
You can read about how to use them under /usr/share/doc. To
be able to fully use this you may need to recompile your
kernel with the device3dfx-source patches applied, although
my experience has been that it's not necessary unless you
plan to play games in xwindows.
You might also look into the mesag3-glide2 package, which
apparently also supports voodoo2 cards. I haven't tried it
personally, though.

There arn't very many packages that take advantage of gl
acceleration. xlockmore-gl does, and a few games do, but
that's about it AFAIK.
Go to www.debian.org and browse through it's packages...
many packages which use opengl have a -gl extension on their
names.

Don't know about either of those.
Hope this helps.
