I didn't see the X version ID anywhere, but it looks like it's too old for your card. My XFree85 4.0.3 doc, README.DRI says under "ATA Rage 128": The PCI versions of these cards also have minimal support. Note that there are also Rage 128 Pro based boards on the market, and these are not yet supported. It seems that Rage 128 is supported by 3.x and 4.0.3, but not the "pro". The docs are sometimes not current, so you might want to keep investigating. At least check out www.xfree86.org as I think 4.1 is out now.
