Well... not having tried it, I want to keep myself from stating that
it's impossible. However given it's really a Rage XL, I think chances
to get this done are rather bad - used to own one of these cards ages
ago, AGP2x, 8 megs of graphics RAM, no real 3D acceleration, wonky
drivers. If these display adapters really are what xorg.conf say, guess
I wouldn't give it a try. But maybe your /var/log/Xorg.*.log is a
little more verbose about that? :)

Cheers,
Kristian
