Does the ATI rage 128 fb support the radeon chip? If not does a driver
exist for this chip? I'm currently upgrading to have DRM support.
Thanks.

Yes, there is such a fb driver. aty128
What does that have to do with DRM, however?

The docs for the aty128fb states that it only supports the Rage128 based
devices. You sure it's also for the radeon?
I currently have an unsupported video card.

Ohh... I was thinking that the Radeon was a card that used the Rage128
chip.
Nonetheless, you should still be able to use the vesa framebuffer.

Radeon is a chip of its own - way faster, way neater and with XFree 4.1
direct rendering 3D support
