Rage 128 hardware uses the "r128" driver. The "ati" driver isn't actually a driver at all, it is a wrapper around the 3 ATI hardware drivers "atimisc", "r128" and "radeon". The "ati" module doesn't actually drive anything, it merely attempts to autodetect what card you really do have, and then proxy to the correct driver - in this case, the "r128" driver. It is always best to manually specify the _correct_ driver however, as the autodetection may not always work properly, so it isn't good to rely on it. >Might also try Mike's stable testing RPM's.

If it isn't, it is most likely misconfigured, or some other problem. I wonder if he's using the Red hat kernel, or a homebrew jobbie... -- Mike A.
