x86_64 and Radeon 9600

My other box has a Rage Fury, which was recognized as r128.

The 9600 SE is not recognized by FC1 32-bit or 64-bit.  
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=114233 Looks like 
I'll have to use vesa for now.

In case anyone is interested, there was a nice write-up on ATI card 
support over on the xfree86 users list:

Thanks for everyone's help!
