Unfortunately atyfb relies on the BIOS to initialize the card. You seem 
to have multiple cards in your system which won't work.

Hum. And I was trying it out in the hopes of working around a bug in the X
server that's preventing it from initializing those cards (neither are the
primary card).

There isn't some standalone user-space program to initialize them out there is
there? Or anything else maybe that would help?

There's vbetool but I don't think it handles secondary cards.

IIRC SciTech had some solution to the problem... and google found it :)
