i have the same card and had the same problem. after a lot of searching in the
net I found a driver (a modificated xsvga driver, which works with my rage 128)
on www.suse.de after searching for "rage" in the support database.
I downloaded the rpm and used the following installation
commands from the suse-site:
rpm -e xsvga (deinstall the old xsvga-driver, which works not with my rage 128)
rpm -U --nodeps xrage.rpm
ln -s /usr/X11R6/bin/XFCom_Rage128 /usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_SVGA
rm /etc/XF86Config
after this I ran XConfigurator and select "card not listed" and generic svga driver
X works fast and fine now with 1280x1024 in 16bit.
at last sorry for my bad english :)
