ATI Rage XL on x86_64

[Andrew Walrond <andrew@walrond.org>]

I have lots of server boards with Rage XL onboard, and have just spent a few 
hours trying to get a working framebuffer using the atyfb driver (built-in)

However I have failed miserably so far. Before I start wading through the 
code, perhaps someone  can confirm that I am using the right kernel 
parameters?

This
 video=atyfb:vmode:14,cmode:8
gives
 atyfb: using auxiliary register aperture
 atyfb: 3D RAGE XL (Mach64 GR, PCI-33MHz) [0x4752 rev 0x27]
 atyfb: 8M SDRAM (2:1) (32-bit) 29.498928 MHz XTAL, 230MHz PLL, 83 MHz MCLK  
63MHz XCLK
 atyfb: MACH64 chips are designed for max 1600x1200
 select anoter resolution
 atyfb: MACH64 chips are designed for max 1600x1200
 select anoter resolution
 atyfb: vclk out of range
 atyfb: vclk out of range
 atyfb: fb0: ATY Mach64 frame buffer device on PCI

and this
 video=atyfb:vmode:14,cmode:8
gives
 atyfb: using auxiliary register aperture
 atyfb: 3D RAGE XL (Mach64 GR, PCI-33MHz) [0x4752 rev 0x27]
 atyfb: 8M SDRAM (2:1) (32-bit) 29.498928 MHz XTAL, 230MHz PLL, 83 MHz MCLK  
63MHz XCLK
 atyfb: MACH64 chips are designed for max 1600x1200
 select anoter resolution
 atyfb: MACH64 chips are designed for max 1600x1200
 select anoter resolution
 atyfb: fb0: ATY Mach64 frame buffer device on PCI


(The speliing mistake is real BTW)

Any clues?
