ATI Rage bug#308485

Hello,

    I get this EE: r128(0):No DFP Detected error setting MTRR Invalid argument 22
Reading Google I get DFP is digital flat panel? I have a CRT monitor?? Seems there is a bug in this driver or Xorg. and a fix but don't know.

Which driver did you try ? Which xorg, which kernel version ? What's in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf ?

Re: ATI Rage bug#308485

back again,

      Ok , here's some more info. I got a little frustrated trying things and I wanted to make sure that everything was clean so I've reinstalled.  I've got X running with TWM. 3 Xterms start when it starts, I've tried ctrl+alt+backspace and it won't exit. I've found a way to kill it ctrl+alt+F2 .
    I'm using X.Org X Server 1.6.1.901 (1.6.2 RC1) this is my new error : EE failed to load module "ati" (module does not exist,0)
and get the same for "fbdev". I installed xf86-video-r128 for my ATI rage r128 card. I don't have the error I had before HOWEVER in the beginner's guide it clearly states as of 1.6 you shouldn't need one? or something like that.
    I'm a newb so I don't have a clear understanding over modules yet but I saw that it stated the new module init tools required the conf file to be moved is this the possible reason? I also did a lsmod and didn't see either fbdev or r128 or ati listed are they listed somewhere else as I know I installed the package and I saw the fbdev package installed also? thanks
