The Radeon9600se is performing great in 2D applications!
But, when it comes to 3D, and especially OpenGL everything
is so slow, so the games isn't playable! :-(
I have now downloaded the fglrx installer from:
http://xoomer.virgilio.it/flavio.stanchina/debian/
let's hope I will get better 3D performance!
At the homepage, he added that the packages were suited
for Xfree86 4.2, and I'm running 4.3. So it might even
get worse.

  I am fairly happy with ATI drivers (from ati.com), they only have rpm 
but they have instructions for debian (how to convert rpm to deb)

  problem: only one X server can be running (oterwise machine freezes), 
this might not be a big deal for a desktop

  problem: you need mesa installed (other openGL packages depend on it) 
but it conflicts with ATI package, so you have to force ati package and, 
of course, have problems when mesa package is updated

  I have:

        kernel 2.4.21-ac4
        X 4.2.1-14
        ati radeon 9800
