I couldn't find a solution for this problem for more than a year, but there is an 
easy way to solve it (I found it by myself): Use the driver delivered with Windows 
2000 (!) - it's version 5.0.2195.1 from december 1999. Maybe it's not the best driver 
for this card, but it seems to be the only way to use the standby function in Windows 
XP with this graphics adapter.

You need three files, here taken from an Windows 2000 installation:
\WINNT\inf\display.inf
\WINNT\system32\atidrab.dll
\WINNT\system32\drivers\atimpab.sys

Copy them to a folder of your choice (e.g. "ati") on your Windows XP system.

Now move the file atirage3.inf ("atirage3.old") from the directory \windows\inf to 
another one to avoid that this driver is reinstalled again and again.

Delete the graphics adapter ("3D RAGE PRO AGP 2X") in the device manager and restart 
the PC.

In the emerging Add New Hardware Wizard you don't need a connection to Windows Update. 
Select the option of selecting the device yourself from the list. Choose the device 
driver to install by yourself. Click on "(Choose) Volume" (or whatever Microsoft 
calls it in english) and search the directory where you saved the file display.inf. 
You will be asked whether you want to continue the installation although the signature 
was not found; answer with "Yes".

After a restart you can adjust the screen resolution and take advantage of the standby 
function.

If I can help you with this information it would be nice to leave a short message 
in this thread.
