Okay, you'll be quite proud of me - I took 13 minutes and in a swirl of
mixed pleasure (relief) and pain and despair, learned that my video adapter
(supposedly Rage 128 based; it's an ATI All-in-Wonder 16mb AGP card) is
-not- supported by the ati driver, even though the running of `XFree86
-configure` happily picks this driver out every time and packages it with a
pink ribbon!  >:-(

So my question -- after RTFM -- to you all oh so nice sweet folk out there
moving electrons and neurons around is... Why do the contents of
/mnt/usr/X11R6/lib/Server/drivers/vga256/ati/* appear to be "compile-time"
stuff rather than ACTUAL binary drivers, and further, what is the path to
THE "ati" driver, and stretching this concept even further, when I did
RTFM, it said something about using the Mach64 driver;  What's THAT?
Where can I procure it?  Will there ever be a land animal faster than the
Cheetah?

Kudeeoze,
