aty128 + Cinema = no console

Hello

  With kernel 2.4.20-ben1 and MOL 0.9.64 both the console and X work fine.

  With 2.4.20-ben10 and 0.9.69, X works but not the console

  The graphic card is an ATI 128 [a Cube] and the screen a 22" Cinema
 
  Both X and console start with identical message [adding [xvideo]
on the "Video drivers" line]

  Would a kind and more knowledgeable soul guide me?

  Thanks

alex
