Does the XFBDev out specifies it's using the ATY Rage PRO device, with acceleration enabled ? If not, try video=atyfb:vmode:14,cmode:8,mclk:83 as a kernel argument, with unchecked "no video driver" box. If you not see atyfb;ATY RageLT PRO in the boot sequence (and later in /var/log/dmesg) then there is a problem. If you do see it, then XFBDev should report it's using the ATY chip, in acccelerated mode and things should go... lightning. > > Did you try running fbset -i while the Xserver is up?
