So, what do I need to do to get OpenGL working? In other words, what file do I ask for when I do apt-get install?
It depends on your motherboard and graphics card. Go to xfree86.org and look in the Documentation section under "DRI" for complete instructions.
This message (dmesg | less) is telling me that it isn't possible on one of my motherboards:
Linux agpgart interface v0.99 (c) Jeff Hartmann agpgart: Maximum main memory to use for agp memory: 28M agpgart: Unsupported SiS chipset (device id: 5591), you might want to boot with agp=try_unsupported agpgart: no supported devices found. [drm:r128_init] *ERROR* Cannot initialize agpgart module.
All that gave me was a bunch of lines that look like they are output by iptables or something.

On the other hand, a favorable dmesg output shows this:
Linux agpgart interface v0.100 (c) Dave Jones agpgart: Detected AMD 761 chipset agpgart: Maximum main memory to use for agp memory: 203M agpgart: AGP aperture is 64M @ 0xf8000000 [drm] Initialized r128 2.5.0 20030725 on minor 0
After starting X on that motherboard, the end of the output from the command "grep -i dri /var/log/XFree86.0.log" shows this:
(II) R128(0): [drm] created "r128" driver at busid "PCI:1:5:0" (II) R128(0): [dri] Visual configs initialized (II) R128(0): [DRI] installation complete ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
