When Xserver runs, it logs the following info about hardware:

(--) PCI:*(1:2:0) ATI Technologies Inc 3D Rage Pro 215GP rev 92, Mem @
0xe100000 0/24, 0xe2000000/12, I/O @ 0xffffff00/8, BIOS @ 0xe1020000/17
(--) SBUS: Sun FFB

I modified /etc/X11/XF86Config file to use ati driver, however it just
doesn't work. What's the difference between ati and sunffb drivers? I
mean the card is using ATI chipset, so how come ati driver doesn't work?
