I'm trying to get my r128 to go to 1600x1024 for my monitor.  I have a
blue/white G3.

When I look in /proc/pci I see I have a "Rage 128" card.

[root at isis drivers]# grep -i vga /proc/pci
    VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Rage 128 RE (rev 0).


So I changed the Driver line in /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 to use "r128" yet
when I tried start X I got "No devices detected":


	(II) ATI: ATI driver (version 6.4.8) for chipsets: ati

	(WW) R128: No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:0:16:0) found
	(EE) No devices detected.


Yet in /proc/pci I see:

  Bus  0, device  16, function  0:
    VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Rage 128 RE (rev 0).
      IRQ 22.

      I/O at 0x2000 [0x20ff].
      Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0x82000000 [0x82003fff].
