Is there widescreen support on ATI Rage cards?
My friend got a new monitor, but he cannot select 1440x900 res. He has latest video, and monitor drivers installed. Using VGA output of course.

Well, the support depends on the driver, not the card. The card just dictates the maximum resolution it can support. So yes, with the right drivers ATI Rage should be able to support widescreen (as long as it's not higher than maximum).
As far as getting the right drivers, I'm not sure. I had similar issue with my Radeon 7500 Mobility default Catalyst drivers, but then I used Omega 5.1 modded Catalyst drivers and that solved the problem. As far as Rage cards are concerned though, I don't know if they use Catalyst or the older drivers.
