Thats weird.  As far as I understand it, if the ati driver doesnt detect the
card, calls the radeon driver, which looked like it was happening, first it
listed all the Mach cards, then it loaded the radeon driver, and it even
listed radeon ve agp as one of the supported cards, but didnt detect it, and
quit with a fatal no screens found error.

Which kernel are you using?  I was running fine with 2.4.3, but couldnt get
past a 2 day uptime with 2.4.4, I ended up downgrading back to 2.4.3.

to try it until then, but thanks for the suggestion.
