Good news. I got my card to work. Many thanks to John Supplee. Your idea did the trick. After I went back and checked my XF86Config-4 file and read the error log, I realized I hadn't change the Screens section to reflect the "ATI Rage 128 PP" vice the "ATI Rage 128". After I fixed that, X was up and running. Thanks again for all your help.

Yeah... Actually, I've found that their cards are some of the best supported, though a lot of it has just been rolled in (they used to be some real buttheads about specs, and they still have the problem of WAY too many minor insignificant chip revisions).The reason we see a lot of ATI beefs are that MGA cards are pretty rare, 3dfx is mostly dead, and many distros configure nVidia cards to use the binary drivers automagically, but most don't do a very good job of setting up DRI and the like on r128/radeon cards, which are quite common (almost as common as nVidia).
I assume by MGA cards you mean Matrox. I recently had (as of two months ago) been using an old Millennium with 2MB of RAM. Worked perfectly under Linux. So they decided the corporate business was their bread and butter (for now, anyways) If they would have had a decent high performance card, I would have probably bought it.
