A couple of weeks ago I upgraded my old 7600/200 to YDL 6.1. This
machine has a PCI Rage 128 card installed. After the upgrade X11
graphics would not work with the card. After some investigation I
found that the problem was that in current Xorg releases the
xorg-x11-drv-ati file no longer includes the r128 driver. My solution
was to download xorg-x11-drv-r128-6.8.0-1.fc10.src.rpm from a Fedora
10 repository and build it for myself.
This yielded a working r128 driver and accelerated X11 for my old
7600/200. This may be of some value to anyone running a system with
an old Rage 128 card.
