I'm now trying to setup my ATI AIW video card on a new woody box.
I find the same problem I had with potato...
lspci now say my chip is a ATI Rage 128 pro TF <-!!!!
The ati.2 for XFree4.1 module from gatos seems to no support this
chip, but searching with google i've found logs from people who have
XFree4.1 (from other distributions) and an ati driver for this chip.
Do you know where to get drivers for ATI Rage TF working with XFree
4.1.
Thanks for help.

Cheers
Lorenzo
