FYI
If you plan on upgrading to XFree 4.2 there is a nasty DRI Xv bug that will lock up x. I'm not sure when it will get fixed but it affects all ati r128 and radeon cards. X 4.1 works ok but screen rendering slows down when dri is active and there is some stability issues when using xv.
I'm on an 8500 with a rage Orion and my device section is a bit different
Section "Device"
Option "UseFBDev"
Identifier "Card0"
Driver "r128"
VendorName "ATI"
BusID "PCI:0:15:0"
EndSection
