I haven't the foggiest clue why you thought debian-glibc would care...

It should be a simple matter of turning on the 3dfx voodoo framebuffer
driver and console on framebuffer support. Point X to use fbdev, instead
of tdfx, which will likely fail spectacularly. Use fbset to change
the framebuffer parameters and make sure your X.org conf matches.
