x86_64 and Radeon 9600

[Joe Cooper]

You'll likely be able to use "vesa" in the interim (and that's why 
graphics worked during the installation--it uses a simple vesa driver 
for the graphical install).  I have the same hardware (almost exactly), 
but with a Radeon 9200...the video card is detected but it goes black 
when I try to use the radeon drive, and only a reboot can bring it back 
to life.  Anyway, vesa works for me, though it is tragically slow at 
1600x1400.

I would be curious why the radeon driver (which works fine on my Athlon 
XP at home with the same card) fails on my x86_64 box at the office, though.
