i386
>Description:
The capabilities of ATI Rage128 cards, including the Xpert 128 and Rage Fury, do not get detected properly by 4.1. Without VESA, only a few basic text modes are available; with VESA, only 4bpp modes work. This effectively disables any splash screens.
>How-To-Repeat:
Test machines:

#1:
   mobo: ASUS P2B-F (440BX)
   graphics: ATI Xpert 128 (Rage 128)
   mem: 256M

#2:
   mobo: ASUS P3V4X (VIA Apollo)
   graphics: ATI Rage FURY 32MB (Rage 128)
   mem: 256M
>Fix:
Installing 4.2 will probably fix this problem. By updating vesa.c, vga.c, scveactl.c, and a few other related files to 4.2, I was able to solve this problem. I believe that it should be noted somewhere that this problem exists--- it's nasty to debug.
