Re: X Windows Video
you need Xfree86 3.3.6 to get rage128 to work in debian.
you can get it by adding:
deb http://www.debian.org/~vincent/ xfree-update main
to your /etc/apt/sources.list
then run apt-get update ; apt-get upgrade
to upgrade your X windows installation, then run XF86Setup to configure
it.
good luck!
