I noticed plenty of people working on getting rage128 hardware working with
4.0, so where is the support for earlier hardware (rage pro, rage ++,
whatever)? I am sure not everyone running LinuxPPC has a rage 128 setup.
Or am I just missing something (like the same config file works for both)?
If I knew what the heck to do with the 4.0 config file to get it working
with my ATI rage pro chip, I certainly would give it a try.
Any suggestions?

If I recall looking at the docs, Rage Pro and the rest are already
supported by 4.0. I'ts the 128's that need the tweaking. I've got a Rage
Pro built in video (I use a Nexus 128 PCI) and X4.0 had no trouble with
it or finding the drivers for it. Still don't have X up though, working
on the 'no screens' problem...

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.
