It is a VE, but I have one report where it fails on a 9600, after
loading vgahw.a or something like that. Maybe it must go into another

More details later..

This is most likely the perennial multiple PCI bus ISA IO problem in
userland that plagues many Macs.  I won't go into the discussion again of
why this is a problem, as this has been discussed here many times (see old
posts about this problem on G4's), but a quick solution may be to put the
card in the 1st slot, or whichever slot corresponds to the io_base
syscall.  I have never used a 9600 so ask around which slot this is.

Also, have you tried radeonfb?
