I don,t like to say "ha ha, I'm right, you're wrong", but that page has
changed in the last couple of days:
"Except for the server for 3DLabs based cards (XSuSE_Elsa_GLoria), all
of our servers have been integrated into the SVGA or Mach64 Server
of XFree86-3.3.2. You can download the SVGA Server as RPM archive or as
TGZ archive and configure it with a modified xf86config. Please
do the same with the Mach64 Server, which is also available as RPM
archive or TGZ archive. Please follow the hints for the Installation of
XSuSE-X-Server to configure the server."
also, at www.xfree86.org, we find
"Highlights of the new release include
...
Acceleration additions and enhancements including Number Nine
Revolution 3D and I128, W32, W32i, AT3D, AT25, NV1, Riva128,
and TGUI chipsets.
..."
So it looks as if 3.3.2 does support the Riva128.
