This question pops up every now and then. I have a ATI Xpert2000Pro card (based on Rage128Pro) that caused the same error message. The reason: There are many different revisions of the Rage128Pro chipset in use. Some newer ones of them have not yet been added to xf86PciInfo.h as of XFree86 4.1. There is a solution to your problem, however. Without having to bother about recompiling anything, you can basically modify your XF86Config file to *force* the detection of your unknown revision of Rage128Pro as a *known revision*. More information about how to do that can be found here: http://two.ucdavis.edu/~holland/unix/xpert2000.html One more note: Despite what the example on that page says, you can safely set Option "UseCCEFor2D" to "false".
