One more package, the "drm". This contains the sources. If you have "kernel-headers" (as opposed to the now "linux-headers") installed, there will be a little script to build them for you. Otherwize, go the the "linux-core" subdirectory, read the Makefile for instructions. Make mach64.o with appropriate reference to your kernel sources, LINUXDIR= if I remember. Copy the two resulting mach64.ko and drm.ko to the appropriate place in your /lib/modules/kernel .... (there may be a drm.ko there but that one will not work--you can locate that to find the place, though). Now make sure agpgart and mach64 modprobe in this order on bootup.
