Yeah, ATi's product names are pretty confusing - there's the Mach64, 
then the Rage II, Rage 3D and so on which are more or less Mach64 with 
some additional functionality, the Rage 128... I just hope the 128 
isn't /that/ different so I can support it in the same driver, the only 
thing I really use so far is the blitter. Resolution switching isn't 
too high on the priority list - only a few people would need it anyway 
( those with broken OF which always comes up in 640x480, like OF 1.0.5 
)

have fun
Michael
