I have a Rage Orion working perfectly in my 9600 but I know people have had
problems with them. Try the snippet below at the end of your
/etc/XF86Config-4. You need to replace the "PCI:0:13:0" with the
information from a "cat /proc/pci". For example on my Mac, the part for
the Orion looks like:

 Bus 0, device 13, function 0:
    VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Rage 128 RE (rev 0).
      IRQ 23.
      Master Capable. Latency=32. Min Gnt=8.
      Prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0x84000000 [0x87ffffff].
      I/O at 0x400 [0x4ff].
      Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0x80804000 [0x80807fff].

.. the "PCI:0:13:0" corresponds to the "Bus 0, device 13, function 0".
Here's the snipper from XF86Config-4.

        Identifier "Modes0"
