Normally you shouldn't have to do anything special for 2d accel. You just need to make sure you don't use the "NoAccel" option in /etc/X11/XF86Config for the card device (generally this is never set anyway) and of course your graphics card and/or driver must support acceleration at the given resolution/color depth (8, 16, 24, 32). For example, I have a viao laptop and I only get accelerated support with color depths of 8 and 16 but not 24. If you look in the Xserver log file (generally found at /var/log/XFree86.0.log) it will tell you if accelerated features are available. Some things that can help are to increase the BIOS setting for AGP aperture size so that it is more than the video ram on your graphic card. The kernel should also be compiled with MTRR support, but if you are using a standard kernel, this will be the case by default. As regards 3d acceleration, that's a whole different ball-park. You need to configure the kernel with agpart support and dri support. If you go to www.xfree86.org and drill down to the documentation section, you'll find plenty of information about getting this up and working.
