That is true...

And that is true too.
However... The ATI Rage Mobility noted above is an M4. That
chip is a Rage 128 Mobility, not a Rage Mobility. So in this
case it should work.
Just be sure that if you are using any XFree86 4.2.0 release,
that the 2.4.x kernel you are using must be patched to use
XFree86 4.2.0 DRM in order to work properly.
Hope this helps.
