Well, I dug and dug, and here's what I got:
For a functional Hardware Acceleration with Radeon 9200/9000:
- agp, intel-apg (or other), drm and radeon drivers
- glx, dri and radeon modules loaded from Radeon
But somehow it's not working. Then I came across a post mentioning

I'm running the latest Debian Sid. For a long time I couldn't get more
than about 14fps in ppracer, but I see I'm now getting ~77fps. (It used

detail with the 77fps now, so I can't complain.)
