This bug is older than the one I'm marking it as a duplicate of. The other has more information and logs, so I figured it'd be better to not lose that stuff. Will move CCs in this bug to the other.

One can get Ati Rage 128 DRI working only with this kernel config: CONFIG_DRM=y CONFIG_DRM_R128=y It gives ~ 460 fps in glxgears then.
