Hi,

Have no fear. Rage 128 cards are supported in XFree86 version 4.0.1. You can
download it from http://www.xfree.org/. I just went through the same problem
a few weeks ago(same powerpak with ATI Rage Fury 32 AGP). Also, see here for
more information: http://www.xfree.org/4.0.1/r128.html. If you have any
further problems after having installed 4.0.1, please post back to this
list. I can post a copy of my XF86Config file. Be sure and read the INSTALL
file for 4.0.1. It mentions how to automatically generate and test a
configuration file. The test of the automatically generated file failed on
my machine but when I placed the same file as XF86Config, everything worked
fine.

- Mark
