Hi,
I have what seems to be the same card. And it is working fine under
Woody, using standard .debs from that branch along with driver and
module substitutes from the gatos project. I had it working under
potato using a home compiled version of 4.1.0, just straight without
any patches (substituting the gatos modules after compiling).
Here is my config file : http://dev.nethouse.com/xfree86-config.txt
And here is my log file: http://dev.nethouse.com/xfree86-log.txt
Finally, here is dmesg : http://dev.nethouse.com/dmesg.txt
I don't usually run X with DRI, but I have in the past and it has
worked. Sometimes it is a little shaky, though. I've always attributed
that to the ALiMajik chipset. But when it was shaky it would always
start, just freeze up later on... never did I get error you are getting.
Let me know if you want any other info.

Mine says, same as yours:

(II) Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/ati_drv.o
(II) Module ati: vendor="The XFree86 Project"
compiled for 4.0.99.900, module version = 6.4.0

Mine says:
(II) Primary Device is: PCI 01:00:0
(II) ATI: Candidate "Device" section "ATI All-in-Wonder Pro".
(WW) R128: No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:0:12:0) found

that is unsupported in 4.1.0 ... pay it no mind)

I think that's ok.. mine says that too.

Hmm.. here's mine:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Rage 128 PF
You could possibly have bad hardware, or a newer version of the Rage
128 chip that is unsupported. I'm only guessing, though... You may
have better luck on the gatos-ati list or maybe even the XFree86's
Xpert list.
