  Ciao.  Alex.

>From the XFree86 documentation:

"The driver auto-detects all device information necessary to initialize
the card. The only lines you need in the "Device" section of your
XF86Config file are:

Section "Device"
           Identifier "r128"
       EndSection

or let xf86config or XF86Setup do this for you."


The package you need for potato Xf86 3.3.6 is

xserver-rage128 0.990906-4 

in non-free.
