FWIW, the 2D radeon driver does not work for me on my Asus K8V Deluxe 
x86_64 system with a 9200, while it works fine for the same card in an 
Athlon XP system.  I had to revert to vesa on the 64 bit box.  (Screen 
blanks and only a reboot will recover the system.)

I'd love to know of a fix for this problem...1600x1400 on vesa is slooooow.
