6500 on-board video: accelerated console?

[Stefan Jeglinski]

It's been forever since I tried using the 6500's onboard video: 
ATY,264GT-B (I think it's an Xclaim chip of some sort?). I'm using 
the atyfb kernel argument in BootX but absolutely no combination of 
resolution and bit depth will work. I've tried both the vmode/cmode 
and the HHHxVVV-MHZ@DEPTH style arguments. I'm just trying to boot 
into an accelerated console so I can get the timings to try to run 
accelerated X. The screen goes black as soon as acceleration kicks in 
(the machine continues to boot); this is on a 15" Apple multisync 
monitor with built-in speakers. Booting with no video checked works 
of course, but I end up with no timings that I can use in X.

Any help? Or any XF86Config-4 file for this beast? (again, 
accelerated; it's trivial to get it going in OFfb)
