If I remember right, Matt is running XFree 4.0.3. I've got an Inspiron
4000 which also has the Rage Mobility, and I'm using the r128 driver in
XF4.0.3 with good success (although setting the output plugin to xvideo
causes massive segfaults, SDL works fine and is clearly using xvideo
extensions as can be seen by comparing the performance vs the X11 plugin).
