it's not obvious, but this is a Mach64 chipset (don'tcha just wish they'd
come out and tell you this stuff instead of hiding behind marketspeak?). I'm
going to suspect it's an AGP device, because the PCI Bus ID starts with 01;
would need to see your full lspci output to know tho.

if it's an AGP graphics device, there's hope for getting 3D accel to work.
if it's just a plain PCI device, things may be a bit more dubious. I've got
a PCI Mach64 chipset in my laptop, and truth be told I haven't made more
than a cursory attempt to get 3D accel for it. ;)

http://www.retinalburn.net/linux/index.html has some information about the
Mach64 drivers for X. beyond that, I'm probably more misinformation than
good advice. :)

someone please correct me if I am in error anywhere here. :)
