"ati" is a wrapper which tries to detect which driver to load. |

Only if you have "fglrx" in VIDEO_CARDS (in make.conf). |

fglrx is for Radeon and FireGL cards, not Rage. |

x11-drivers/xf86-video-r128 should be for your board. Try to modify |
| 30 |
your VIDEO_CARDS like this: |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
VIDEO_CARDS="r128 fbdev vesa vmware" |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
and then emerge -auDN world. Since you don't need ati-drivers, unmerge it. |
