There are reports of ATI cards not liking nforce2 boards.

I had an ATI 9600 and dumped it for nVidia.  I haven't tried the 
latest kernel and driver yet.  I found nVidia was much more supportive 
the Linux than ATI.  But as you state, it is reversed engineered.

I never got tux racer to run with my ATI.  :(
