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

I hope someone there can help you soon.
