Subject: XF4.0.1 / iBook / framebuffer

Ok, I've been told the framebuffer is pretty much the only video driver
available for powermacs. Does that apply for iBooks? X detects my ATI Rage
Mobility, but of course it's not listed in the drivers in xf86config.
I'm pretty sure all of my framebuffer stuff is right in my kernel. But I'm
still getting this problem (at 16bit, at 8 bit I get some error scrolled
forever). *note* XF3.3.6 worked in 8bit and not 16 bit.
startx output below...
