I'll see if I can help you out. I don't have the exact same card as you do, but I do have a ATI Rage Mobility. I have included my xorg configuration file below the hash marks. I just installed tuxracer and it played just fine...well the graphics were fine, my steering was terrible.

One last note before I cut and paste the xorg.conf file. I noticed your email had a picture inserted at the bottom. You must be new to this list, considering the long <sometimes ridiculous> debates that have been raging here in the last few days, but it is generally considered "polite" to send email to a list like this in plain text with no images attached. If soeone winds up needing a picture to help you for some reason, you would send it to them directly, off the list. This is to show some respect for the people who still have to use dial-up connections to get this stuff and those who still use text-based email apps.

Just to get my digs in, I think I've wasted more bandwidth in the last 3-4 days on the debates than I did in downloading the picture! :-)

But, with no further adoo, I give you the relevant sections of my xorg.conf file. I've deleted most of the Red Hat commentary and stuff that has nothing to do with your graphics. I tried to *** anything that I think might help. Search this email for the 3 stars to see the good stuff. Check to see if your xorg.conf file has the same entries. If not, change them, reset your X-Server and try it out.
