The Lombard has a Rage Pro chip. You can use the FBDev server or Xpmac
(which does come with YDL.. it is the XFree86-Xpmac-* rpm on your cd).
Just install the rpm, and change your /etc/X11/X symlink to point to the
Xpmac binary instead. It should detect that you are on a mach64 and enable
acceleration. If not, you can pass the --mach64 option to the X server.
(it detected Mach64 fine on my Lombard...)
