Already taken care of.

This was the relevant part I was referring to, sorry. I see you use no
magic here, like VideoRam or ChipID options.
Mine is:

Section "Device"
        Identifier  "Rage 128"
        Driver      "ati"
        VendorName  "ATI"
        BoardName   "Rage 128 Pro TF"
        BusID       "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection

Same here

carlos@snob:~$ lspci
(...)
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Rage 128 Pro Ultra TF

What's your lspci output regarding the graphics card? If it's not exactly
the same, maybe the cards are different enough to make comparisons useless.

Thanks.
