+ <item>Full support (including hardware accelerated 2D drawing) for 8, 15,
+ 16, 24 bit pixel depths.
+ <item>Hardware cursor support to reduce sprite flicker.
+ <item>Support for high resolution video modes up to 1800x1440 @ 70Hz.
+ <item>Support for doublescan video modes (e.g., 320x200 and 320x240).
+ <item>Support for gamma correction at all pixel depths.
+ <item>Fully programmable clock supported.
+ <item>Robust text mode restore for VT switching.

+
+<sect>Configuration
+<p>
+The driver auto-detects all device information necessary to
+initialize the card. The only lines you need in the "Device"
+section of your XF86Config file are:
+<verb>
+ Section "Device"
+ Identifier "Rage 128"
+ Driver "r128"
+ EndSection
+</verb>
+or let <tt>xf86config</tt> do this for you.
+
+However, if you have problems with auto-detection, you can specify:
+<itemize>
+ <item>VideoRam - in kilobytes
+ <item>MemBase - physical address of the linear framebuffer
+ <item>IOBase - physical address of the memory mapped IO registers
+ <item>ChipID - PCI DEVICE ID
+</itemize>
+
+
+<sect>Driver Options
+<p>
+<itemize>
+ <item>"hw_cursor" - request hardware cursor (default)
+ <item>"sw_cursor" - software cursor only
+ <item>"no_accel" - software rendering only
+ <item>"dac_8_bit" - use color weight 888 in 8 bpp mode (default)
+ <item>"dac_6_bit" - use color weight 666 in 8 bpp mode (VGA emulation)
+</itemize>
+
+
+<sect>Known Limitations
