	I have a G4 with the same card.  It's not exactly the same
hardware, but it's probably close enough that we have the same problems.  
Mine gave me a fit, but I did eventually get it to work.  I'll include my
XF86Config file with this email, but that alone won't work.
	For my setup I _had_ to pass the kernel some extra params at boot 
time.  I put the following line in my /etc/yaboot.conf file:

append="video=aty128fb:1280x1024-24@60"

	Take whatever append line you have there out and replace it with
the above.  Since you want 800x600, you'll have to change it.  The format
goes like this: [fbdevice]:[horizontal]x[vertical]-[colordepth]@[refresh]

	Hopefully that combined with the config file will help you out.  
You'll still have to do a bit of editing to the config file to get all the 
screens you need.  The one I have isn't overly generic.  Oh, and don't 
forget to run "ybin -v"  To write the new kernel params to the 
Openfirmware.  Good Luck.

PS Since your editing the boot process, its a good idea to have your 
yellowdog cds around so you can rescue yourself if it doesn't work.
