The ati driver is for them (although not very well accelerated yet), but I
doubt it works on PPC yet due to the usual problems (endianness, endianness
and endianness, ... :)

Kostas Gewrgiou, me and maybe others are working on a general solution to make
most drivers work with only minor changes or no changes at all.

No, the Rage128 uses the r128 driver.

Look at the XF86Config manpage, the format of the file has changed.
