Hi all.
I have a couple of questions which are not answered on the site.

First, let me explain that I have an ati rage128 card and ubuntu 6.06.
I was not satisfied of the acceleration which came by default: it was 
slower and gave me problems with respect to the oldeer, but still working 
distribution on my pc (a mandriva 2005LE).
So I updated dri, as explained in the site
http://wiki.ubuntu-it.org/Mesa/Dri?highlight=%28mesa/dri%29

Basically, I downloaded

common-20060403-linux.i386.tar.bz2
rage128-20060403-linux.i386.tar.bz2

I uncompressed them, and ran the install.sh

The first was ok. For the second, I get an error. The log says

`/home/stumbo/download/rage128-20060403-linux.i386/drm/linux-core'

Now I result in no kind of acceleration: much worse than before. Drm 
doesn't load:

First question: (how) can I solve this?

Second (and most important) question: assume I want to go back to my 
previous configuration.
How do I do this?
There is no uninstall script, nor a "uninstall" option in the install.sh 
script. I can't realize what has been done during install...
And, after having uninstalled it (if I will be able...) how do I recover 
the previous files? Did the install overwrite some file from some package 
that needs then to be reinstalled? And which?

Thank you a lot for your help.
