No. IIRC, then accel won't work right/at all. Do a dmesg, you should see
something like:
aty128fb: detected XCLK=0x2711, ref_div=0x23
aty128fb: Rage128 RE (PCI) [chip rev 0x2] 16M 128-bit SDR SGRAM (1:1)
Console: switching to colour frame buffer device 128x48
fb0: ATY Rage128 frame buffer device on /pci@80000000/ATY,Rage128y@10
(Different bits of hex and location, but you get the idea..)

Something like the above? Then video is being detected fine...
