Great one more mach64 user.
So, first, you do not need aty128fb, vesafb should work!
But ATI Rage Mobility M1 will be covered by atyfb driver.

You must get the last fbdev patch from J. Simmons.
Be sure it is the last version, it only includes atyfb change for Mobility.

Applay it on your kernel, I use 2.6.0-test9

kernel paramater line should be video=atyfb:1024x768 if 1024x768 your 
resolution is.

If You have any troubles,  switches DEBUG macro in drivers/video/aty/
atyfb_base.c on, and post your dmesg and lspci.

Good luck
Alex
