You can try one of the following 3 fixes (use XFree86 4.1.0 for these)
Use the ChipID option to forcibly mis-ID the chip as a known type
Add an entry for the chip to xf86PciInfo.h and r128_probe.c, and recompile X

This card should work out-of-the-box. Certainly its PCI twin does. Did you
try configuring it with xf86cfg or XFree86 -configure?

Because i386 is the old architecture... i686 is the sixth-generation x86
line, which includes PPro/PII/PIII/P4/Celeron/Athlon/Duron/Crusoe. Your

Well, unless you uprgaded with RPM, RPM will still show 4.0.3 as being the
installed version. Disregard this, RPM is wrong.
To get GNOME back, look in the file called .xinitrc (might also be .xsession
or .Xclients) in your home dir. To run GNOME, it should contain only the
line 'exec gnome-sessio

(shouldn't be), use 'unzip'. If they're .rpm, or .src.rpm or .srpm, use 'rpm

Commenting out useFBDev is correct. After this, it sounds like a mouse
protocol issue. Do you have a wheel mouse? If so, the correct protocol is
generally IMPS/2. Else, it's usually PS/2 (if the mouse is PS/2 or USB. If
it's serial, things get ugly. I don't remember the right protocols because I

That's a tga, so I figure it ought to work under XFree86 4.1.0... IIRC, the
tga driver supports all TGA cards... I don't know, though. The only Alpha

I wanna say ATi, but I'm not sure.)

You'll need the ati.2 driver from www.linuxvideo.org (or a mirror, since the
main site is fragile). Note I've only tested it on x86, but it doesn't look
x86-specific (get the source, of course... I didn't see any ppc binaries).

Change "IntelliMouse" to "IMPS/2" (or use moused). the IntelliMouse protocol
is for serial intellimice. IMPS/2 is for their PS/2 and USB counterparts
(which, assuming your device is right, is what you've got).
