Works: Can't get ATI Rage128 to work with XFree86 on Debian
Thanks to all friendly helpers, it finally works.
The trick was to include the chipset option in the XFconfig86-4 :
Section "Device"
Identifier "ATI Rage 128"
Chipset "ATI Rage 128 SM (AGP)"
Driver "r128"
VideoRam 65536
EndSection

Sh..., just realized, that the "Unresolved symbols" stuff must
come from my (silly) deletion of some modules. Is there a way to
rebuild all modules from scratch?

OK,
got the message.
- Downloaded drm-trunk-module-src
- build the drm module:
(in /usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.18/ make-kpkg modules-image,
...
"Module /usr/src/modules/drm-trunk processed fine":
package drm-trunk-module-2.4.18_custom.2.0+2002.11.06-1_i386.deb now
in /usr/src/ )
- dpkg -i ../drm-trunk-module-2.4.18_custom.2.0+2002.11.06-1_i386.deb
=> output
...
Unpacking replacement drm-trunk-module-2.4.18 ...
depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in
/lib/modules/2.4.18/kernel/drivers/char/drm/gamma.o
depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in
/lib/modules/2.4.18/kernel/drivers/char/drm/gamma.o-dpkg-tmp
Setting up drm-trunk-module-2.4.18 (custom.2.0+2002.11.06-1) ...
depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in
/lib/modules/2.4.18/kernel/drivers/char/drm/gamma.o
depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in
/lib/modules/2.4.18/kernel/drivers/char/drm/gamma.o
So, it seems that I've got some older stuff somewhere, don't you think?
Is there a way to clean up all the mess from any older "tests"?
Thanks in advance, Holger

Wrong. You need:
--- DRM 4.1 drivers
{ } ATI Rage 128
Because 4.1 stands for the X version. You certainly use 4.2.
That's why you have to download and compile drm-trunk-module-src.

You only need to build the drm modules. In /usr/src, untar the
drmi-trunk.tar.gz than in /usr/src/linux do 'make-kpkg modules-image'.

install also the resulting drm package.

Wrong.
You need to update your boot loader (unless you use grub).
For lilo see lilo, for yaboot see ybin.

Yes the dependencies are updated.
But you will never see the custom.1.0 in the kernel name (just the
package name).
