If your intested in 3D, the current X-org drivers should support
acceleration via DRI

I have a few systems at work with a couple flavors of R128 and 3D worked
under RH 7.3 if a bit buggy with some texture issues, so I would expect
them to function reasonably well now.

If your thinking on playing games it should be good enough for older
games like Quake 2 and Unreal.
