Last night I recompiled my 2.4 kernel and added agpart into the kernel
& the ati rage driver as a module. I ran lsmod and sure enough the
agpart and r128 were both listed as running yet when I attemtped to
run x the logs showed this:

(II) R128(0): Acceleration enabled
(==) R128(0): Backing store disabled
(==) R128(0): Silken mouse enabled
(II) R128(0): Using hardware cursor (scanline 2052)
(II) R128(0): Largest offscreen area available: 1280 x 5525
(II) R128(0): Direct rendering disabled
(==) RandR enabled
Symbol drmAgpBase from module
/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/r128_drv.o is unresolved!
Symbol drmGetInterruptFromBusID from module
/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/r128_drv.o is unresolved!
Symbol drmCtlInstHandler from module
/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/r128_drv.o is unresolved!
Symbol DRIGetDeviceInfo from module
/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/r128_drv.o is unresolved!
Symbol drmCtlUninstHandler from module
/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/r128_drv.o is unresolved!

now I assume the R128(0) is a good sign showing that the x server is
indeed using the r128 module for the driver. My question is what is
the unresolved stuff all about?

Does adding the following 4 lines to /etc/X11/XF86Config help?

# If using the kernel's agpgart, enable DRI for everyone
Section "DRI"
mode "666"
EndSection

I dont know if this aplies to you at all maybe someone else will know better
but I had problems with my ATI R128 card when setting up a tv tuner card, I found
the GATOS drivers through google, installed them and everything is just super.

You can check it out here

http://gatos.sf.net

The Gatos drivers replace the drivers you mention above.
You will need Xfree V4.3 though, the improvement I saw is very good.
