You definately need a 2.2.14 kernel to run the ALi chipset at UDMA/33, and the Rage Fury definately needs the latest AGPGart patches from the Utah GLX project to work with AGP texturing et al. You need the newagp kernel patch (from http://utah-glx.sourceforge.net) applied to the kernel, along with Mesa and glx source trees from the same place. There's a pretty good NOWTO on that site outlining what is necessary to get these things operational. I will warn you that you may not notice any performance difference until XFree86 4.0 with DRI is ready (I speak from experience). As far as the 2.2.14 kernel, you need Andre Hedrick's patch to make the ALi chipsets work at their best doing DMA transfers. You can get more information on how exactly to tune your kernel in the TuneLinux section at http://www.linux.com. If you have specific questions about these procedures, and the documentation doesn't cover them, feel free to refer them back to this list.
