(3D games under Red Hat Linux 7.2

I am trying to run Tux Racer & Chromium (space 'shoot-em-up' ) games on Red Hat
7.2, but they run slooooowwwww as mud! I have an ATI Mach 64 (motherboard)
3D AGP Graphics. How do I get it to work?
Thanks!

If it's slow it means the system uses 3D software acceleration instead of #D hardware acceeration or there is no 3D at all. I beleive XFree3.x.x has an accelearated driver for ATI Mach chip, look here http://www.xfree86.org/current/Status6.html#6

Oops, there is no 3D hardware acceleration for ATI chip, these cheap punks won't release their driver code to the community nor they plan to design a linux driver

I've got a GeForce3...and I can't make Quake3 run at all, and the whatever games that came with redhat run slow as heck...and even after I installed nVidia drivers the stuff still runs slow as turtle and Quake3 still wont run, is it always going to be so dificult to fix, damn!

No; why would that work? And how do I do that under RedHat 7.2?
