Part of 'lspci -v' I think useful are as follows:
00:0b.0 Host bridge:Apple Computer Inc.UniNarth 2 AGP
            Flags:bus master,66Mhz,medium devsel,latency 16
00:10.0 VGA compatible controller:ATI Technologies Inc:Unknown devce 5c63 (rev 01) (prog-if 00 [VGA])
            Subsystem:ATI Technologies Inc:Unknown device 5c63
            Memory at 90000000 (32bit,non-prefetchable)[siu=6k]
            Expansion ROM at 90020000[disabled][size=128k]
            Capabilities:[58] AGP version 2.0
            Capabilities:[50] Power Management version 2


'mplayer -vo cvidix xxx.avi' output:
[radeon] Found chip:RV250 5c63 [Radeon Mobility 9200 M9+]
[radeon] Device is disabled,ignoring
vosub_vidix:Couldn't find working VIDIX driver

'mplayer -vo fbdev xxx.avi' output:
Can't put VSCREENINFO

'fbset -i' output:
...
Frame buffer device information:
Name:OFfb ATY,Via_A
Address:0x9c008000
size:789432
Type:Packed PiXELS
Visual:PSEUDOCOLOR
...
ACCELERATOR:NO

And I tried 'video=offb:off video=radeon:1024x768-32',I only got a frazed screen and I could type 'reboot' just to reboot.
Is this caused by someting in Open Firmware or old kernel as you said?
