It will have lines starting with (EE) and (WW) to specify "errors" and "warnings". These may give you a clue as to where the error lies. AFAIK the ATI Rage 128 is a _very_ well supported card and you shouldn't need to get another. Find out the exact error by looking at that log file. If you can't fix it on your own (using a combination of http://www.google.com/linux and reading the manpages and the Red Hat supplied documentation) then come back and post the error log to the list. I feel sure you'll get this card working.
