For the 3dfx Voodoo Banshee-based boards, you can grab the "beta" server available on the Creative Labs website. Look under Support | Drivers | OtherOS | Beta for this server. I'm using it with my Guillemot Maxi Gamer Phoenix without difficulty.
After getting the server you'll want to edit the "Accel" portion of /etc/X11/XF86Config to add a line such as DefaultColorDepth 16 -or- DefaultColorDepth 24 Don't forget to set the various monitor-related settings to fit your monitor.
