You might find some useful info in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/doc/README.ati

One notable paragraph from this doc:

The newer Rage 128 and Radeon chips are not yet supported by this
driver.  Rage 128's and Radeon's are, however, supported by separate
drivers, and owners of such adapters should consult the documentation
provided with these drivers.  This driver will also invoke the
appropriate driver if it finds Rage 128 and/or Radeon adapter(s) in
the system.

Good luck
