IOW, if you want to keep using old hardware, you need to participate in keeping it supported. That means participation in testing upcoming release versions so as to discover and report problems soon enough that fixes might 
be provided when breakage is discovered. AFAIR, some Rage hardware still works without needing to fall back to a generic driver. I know the r128 driver is working for me, though not automatically. Maybe the Rage XP also 
needs manual help?
