While it does not seem much, there is no reason to waste more than is
needed. If there is a problem, svgalib gives the following error
message:
"Set MAX_REGS at least to %d in src/driver.h and recompile everything.\n"
This value is the size of the buffer svgalib uses to save the video card
state (not related to the video ram). The vga driver uses 60 bytes. most
drivers don't use more than 100 bytes more, so raising this size is
unnecessary, unless there are cards that require it.

This should work with the rage driver (or at least almost work).
It should at least be recognised and the memory amount probed correctly.
Please try running vgatest (latest svgalib, without any chipset line),
and tell me what does not work.
