Well, 

In case anyone cares, or is in the market for a great 3D card, I figured
that I would answer my own question here about the Rage Fury Maxx (who
comes up with these names, anyway?). 

With the help of Tom Rauschenbach, I finally found the problem with XF86
and the Rage Fury MAXX card. Tom pointed me in the right direction for
correct driver (the generic ati driver with x4.0.2). Of course, the
correct driver didn't seem to fix the problem. What I discovered is that
I needed to have 2 sections for Device, Monitor, and Screen, each pair
being identical except for the names (i.e. card0 and card1). Apparently,
when X tried to probe the card with only one of each of these sections
defined, it was finding two devices and it didn't know which one to use.
Once I added the second sections, I was able to get 1600x1200 @ 32bit
depth. And to think that I almost bought a copy of Metr-X! (sorry, Rob
;-)

C-Ya,
Kenny
