I have an ATI Rage II+ video card how can I tell if the correct drivers are installed for it? Reason I ask is that games like gltron and tuxracer are not working and I think it has to do with video.
New problem on my Vaio.

Relax Linux gurus...I'll handle this one...
j/k guys.
Seeing as I have never played those games. I couldn't tell you how to debug them. The only real "driver" per se, that may be loaded would be in your XF86Config file. The filename should be "XF86Config". Go into that and look for " Section "Device" " It will probably be located about mid file or so, maybe lower. In their there is a parameter called "driver" which lists the "driver" that gets loaded when X loads.
This driver may be set to "vesa" or "fb" or "fb-dev", these are generic drivers that will try to use either the VESA bus or framebuffer support to access your graphics card. All graphics cards should support these modes. To get "Hardware Acceleration" out of your graphics card, you are going to have to load the appropriate driver. As for an ATI Rage II+, I don't know what that is. Give me some time and I will let you know.

The primary purpose of the DATA statement is to give names to constants; instead of referring to pi as 3.141592653589793 at every appearance, the variable PI can be given that value with a DATA statement and used instead of the longer form of the constant. This also simplifies modifying the program, should the value of pi change.

Probably should tell you where to find that file, eh?
Should be in /etc/X11 or maybe in /usr/X11/
If you want to find it the leet way, you can issue the command
$ find / | grep XF86Config
That will search the entire filesystem and display the path to the file.
