Here is a link that I found very useful in getting my ATI Xpert 2000 video card, which uses the ATI Rage 128 chipset, working with XFree86.
http://two.ucdavis.edu/~holland/unix/xpert2000.html The relevant section of my XF86config-4 file is: Section "Device" Identifier "ATI Xpert2000" Chipset "ATI Rage 128 RF (AGP)" Driver "r128" VideoRam 32768 EndSection I had to add the Chipset line to get XFree86 to fire up.
