Part of why I want the r128 driver is to get the hardware acceleration. Anytime I had the r128 driver running at a resolution above 800x600, the display exhibited some strange folding effects. I think that means that some of the timing values were wrong. Thanks for your help. I think my next step is to try installing Fedora 13 and see if I can get that to work. If it works, maybe I can collect timing values from it.
