XFree86 CVS has support for this chipset already (actually called Rage 128 PP in CVS; the letters come from the ascii of the chip id) and several other new rage 128 and radeon chipsets. It turns out 4.2.0 didn't make it in time for our release, and I never had the time to make a patch to add support for newer ATI chips in the port. Is there interest by XFree86 maintainers to have a patch in the port for newer ATI cards? It shouln't be too hard to make, and could probably just add chip ids and skip all the other enhancements in the ATI driver in CVS. Another option might be to use a binary driver from GATOS, which (though I haven't tried it yet) should support the newer cards and supports more features anyway. I'm leaving for a week, so I can't do a patch myself, but I do hope something can be done about the new ATI chipsets, which seem to be pretty common.
