Just the same as I got when I was running XFree86 from ports.
The radeon driver in the current ports version does not recognize the Radeon 
9600 chips.

They are supported in the latest development snapshots, though, so if you try 
to compile and install one of them it should work with the radeon driver.

That's what I did to get my card up and running properly under X.

Hope this helps, best regards.
