Don't know if this will help. Here are my "recent" experiences with the
ATI Rage Fury.
I finally got my @#$%^ ATI Rage Fury working with XFree86 4.0. The r128
driver works great (but only in 800x600 @ 256 colors). Other's
mentioned you can't run Xconfigurator or XF86Setup (yep, it messes up
the config file bad!!! Format has changed).
The docs talk about running xfree86 -configure (I think that's the
command). It "senses" the ATI and wants to load the glide drivers on
top of it. Unfortunately I didn't buy the Voodoo3 (a real video card).
So after a little searching on their site I found the drivers in
question. Going to install them tonight. I'm pretty confident it will
work and (finally) give me the colors/resolution I'm looking for
Next time I'll just buy the dang Voodoo card or a GEForce... Less of a
pain..

| Strange, I have the following in my XF86Config file:
| Driver "svga"
| Device "NVidia / SGS Thomson|Riva128"
| XFree86-3.3.5-3
|
| So, I can't explain why you are having trouble.
This is interesting, but not surprising. The ATI Rage128 video
chipset was not supported in XFree86-3.3.5-3. My problem is only with
this chipset and 3.3.6. I mentioned that the same 3.3.6 SVGA server
that failed on may Rage128 machine worked with my laptop (it uses some
Trident chipset).
Thanks for the datapoint,

PS: I've experienced the same problem with an nxterm window, so the
problem is probably not in xterm itself.
