FC5 installs ok, but to start X, I have to change the r128 driver to vesa in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.
I had similar problems with FC4 and the Cyberblade i1 card's Trident driver, but after doing all the updates, post install, I was able to change back to the Trident driver, and X started ok.
I don't know whether this is a problem due to system packages needing to be updated or what.
I can't say that I like messing with xorg.conf. More often than not I find myself in text mode, and have to have a quick nano session to put things back as they were to get X to start.
This is the output from /var/log/Xorg.setup.log when trying to start X with the Rage128's r128 driver.

Any specific help would be really appreciated.
You need to report this problem to X.Org, not here, an XFree86 forum.
