 rage128 too!

 To OP (I forget who that was), all these methods work fullscreen for
me. The best description of my card is:

[earth] /home/paul: scanpci

[snip]
pci bus 0x0001 cardnum 0x00 function 0x00: vendor 0x1002 device 0x5046
 ATI Technologies Inc Rage 128 PF/PRO AGP 4x TMDS

 If it is not just a mis-configuration on your part then I guess there
is a (major) difference between the Rage PRO and the Rage 128 PRO.
(Where I bought the computer from, they called it "Rage Fury PRO")
