Only if you are running XFree86 4.0. If you are running 3.3.6 or older
then I am not sure. I was made to understand that 3.3.6 supported the
new rage 128 chipset but never tried it since the 4.0 worked. I figured
might as well try 4.0 since it's the latest available.
After installing 4.0, a directory with all the video drivers is
created. Each file / driver has a _driver.o extension (example:
r128_driver.o). When you setup your XF86Config file you only need to
specify the first part of the name (example: r128). Since 4.0 is
modular you only need to specify the first part (r128). Hope I said
that clearly. If not I'll try to explain it better.

Maybe I didn't say that right. I originally purchased the ATI card and
after fighting for over a week I returned it for a Voodoo3 3000. There
were no drivers last year for the ATI card and I wasn't in the mood to
wait :D
