Well, Radeon 9x00 is totally unsupported, so it is using the "vesa" driver by default in hopes that the video card's BIOS will provide working 2D only support. If it isn't working, then there's not much you can do about it other than look for a BIOS update for now, or wait until Radeon 9x00 support is made available. I've got Radeon 9x00 patches I've been testing, and will be making rpm's available soon for others to test also. No estimated time of arrival however. I'll announce it here when it is ready. -- Mike A.
