ATI keep changing the chip ids.
Since there are 3 completely different sets of code for ATI chips,
the server needs to know which one your chips need, and that means that
any card which is newer than the X server will not work without help.
Did you send your lspci output to XFree86 as requested, so that we can add
support for your card ?
NVidia have submitted a patch for the NV driver which allows it to
handle chip IDs that it doesn't recognize, and a lot of new ATI chips
IDs have been added to CVS recently - your cards may work with
CVS or 4.3 (when released).
Alternatively you could try adding a line like
ChipId 0x5044
to the "Device" section of your config file.
Try values 0x5044 0x5050 0x5245 0x524b (PD PP RE and RK in ASCII Hex).
This will make the server pretend that you have one of the ATI Rage 128
PCI cards that are supported in current CVS.
