Sounds great, only it is a 9600, the patch talk about 9200?

Here's relevant info from pciconf -vl

none10 at pci3:0:0:        class=0x030000 card=0xc0041043 chip=0x41511002 
rev=0x00 hdr=0x00
    vendor   = 'ATI Technologies'
    class    = display
    subclass = VGA
none11 at pci3:0:1:        class=0x038000 card=0xc0051043 chip=0x41711002 
rev=0x00 hdr=0x00
    vendor   = 'ATI Technologies'
    class    = display

Which is relevant, 0x4171 or 0x4151? Will it work? I'll try it tonight.

They are already in there - the kernel still doesn't detect it...  The 
correct PCI device ID is not in the driver...

Also, do I need "kldload radeon" when I have

device          agp
device          radeondrm

in the kernel? is radeon.ko and radeondrm same same or different?
