Help setting correct driver for ATI Rage 128 in xorg.conf
I have this old ATI Rage 128 card and I'm trying to configure x11 to use the correct driver. Among other things I'm hoping this will fix issues like choppy scrolling.
Code:
~$ sudo lspci -vv

Let me know if the full listings of these commands would help. I know the 'r128' driver is installed on the system. If I specify it in the Device section of xorg.conf the computer doesn't boot properly. I also tried including r128 in /etc/modules.
I'm pretty sure that if all things are working correctly, there should be a "Kernel Drivers: r128" line in lspci, and in lshw, display should NOT be UNCLAIMED.
