Savage
I installed Dapper Flight 4 on my ASRock K7VM2 yesterday. It's a Micro-ATX board with a ProSavage8 IGP.
The ProSavage8 IGP wasn't properly detected and thus Xorg defaulted to the vesa driver. After loading the savage kernel module and changing the Xorg driver to savage I had working 3D acceleration!
After that I had a go with Xgl, it actually worked, it was slow as hell*, but it worked. Compiz wouldn't cooperate though, apparently the ProSavage8 hardware doesn't have support for textures which aren't a power of 2 in size.
* Xgl was actually slower than Xorg in 2D
