It was somewhere suggested to use the "ati" driver and this worked for me.
Apparent the "r128" driver is now a sub-module of the ati driver. All
systems are now go again (except for the vesa driver, which I don't need
anymore).

Hi all, just writing to say that on my Dell Inspiron 8000 laptop (latest
BIOS) with ATI Mobility M4 video the modular X vesa and r128 drivers do
not work properly. When X is configured to use the vesa driver it comes up,
but the picture is distorted (looks like 2 vertical desktops overlapping one
another at various points, also colors are messed up). As for trying to use
the r128 driver, X cannot even load when configured this way, it fails with
an error along the lines of the r128_drv.so could not be opened. Has anyone
else seen issues like this with the new modular X packages? Should I file
bugs for these in x.org <
http://x.org>'s bugzilla? Thanks.
