Does XFree86 support the ATI All-in-Wonder 128 video board? 
I think that it does because of the section "Driver status for XFree86 : 
ATI" indicates that rel 4.1.0 has accelerated support for the Rage 128 
chip.
The chipset is the "ATI Rage 128 RF (AGP)" (Chip ID=0x5248). 
When I install Red Hat 7.2, the program indicates that everything is 
installed correctly; however, when I run startx, Gnome seems to boot up 
and gives all indications that it will run (shows that it is loading a bunch of 
items) then it becomes very slow and even after 5 minutes it is still loading 
the task bar and desktop icons. 

Xconfigurator PCI probing finds the following:

PCI entry : ATI ! Rage 128 RF
X Server :  XF86_SVGA
XFree 4 Driver: r128
The small box asking can you see this message has an automatic time-out 
after 9 then 8 then 7seconds etc. I can see this message, but there is no 
place to respond yes. Also, there is approx 10 seconds between the 
display of each message including the reduction in number of seconds.

This is all confusing, burt the major problem is that it runs extremely slow so 
that I even have to use the ctrl-alt backspace to get out of X windows.

Does anyone have any suggestions how to fix this if indeed the video 
board is supported in XFree86 rel 4.1.0.

Thank you.        ....  Larry
