This certainly doesn't count as 'experience' but I'm running Yellow Dog  
on a Mac with an ATI 9600. The problem is that by the time I installed  
Yellow Dog, the issues with the 9600 had been worked out to the point  
where the card was auto-detected and the installer just did the right  
thing.

The point of this post is that there are folks on the Yellow Dog list  
who did work through the issues and you might want to ask on their list  
or search through their archives if you don't get an answer soon on  
this list. I have always found the YDL developers very helpful.

The list is at

general>

I hope someone there can help you soon.
