well, I'm no expert on this so I'm probably wrong (in view of your
question), but I thought that I needed mesa-glide (for opengl-on-glide),
libglide (for glide), and libglide-hardwaresepecific (for the hardware).
I thought it was a multilayered protocol thing. ("thing" can be "a la
OSI" or "vendor pissing contest", your choice).
The libglide2 from woody did _not_ work, my assumption was that it was
due to the lack of what used to be libglide-vg, which is what I guessed
I had debianized via alien. I guess I guessed wrong?

a vg, voodoo graphics, voodoo 1, or monster something-or-other. the old
pci thing connected via a cable doohickey to the other pci thing which
happens to look very much like a mga2064w, and via a longer cable
doohickey to something that nearly, but not quite, completely fails to
resemble a monitor.

the only way I've been able to get my vg to work in woody (since
libglide-vg went AWOL I guess) is this. I'd be willing to try variants,
however.
