Weird display problem

I had to wipe my drive and reinstall YDL 3.0 this week, and now, no
matter what I do, I can't get a GUI to come up.
I'm running a 350 mghz iMac with a built-in (i.e., soldered-on) ATI
Rage RL/VR card (8 M video ram). YDL keeps telling me it only has 512
k video ram, but I've been to the local Apple Store for a complete
diagnostic to check out all my components. Everything is working
normally. So YDL is reading my card wrong.
I've gone into /etc/X11/XF86Config and
-- uncommented "Load DRI" in the "Modules" section
-- added "Load r128" in the "Modules" section
-- uncommented "BusID" in the "Device" section and added the location
0:16:0 of my card.
I've been gettinng either of these two messages:
"Parse error on Line 110 of Section:Device in file /etc/X11/XF86Config.
The BusID requires a quoted string to follow it. (EE) Problem parsing
Config file. (EE) Error from xf86HandleConfigFile. Fatal server
error: no screen found."
or
r128(0): Cannot read V_BIOS (5) Fatal server error: Caught signal 11:
server aborting."
Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
