Do I need to get a special driver for the gfx card? And what does it help for (3D? Video? Visual quality?)

I guess it depends on your specific card. It helps with things like opengl (screensavers, games, stuff like that). I have an nvidia card and just followed the guide under the desktop configuration. If you have an ATI, there is this document or this thread.
