I'm not familiar with ATIs but there are at least two flavours Mach64
and Mach128, find out which one you have and see below.

This is for users with Matrox cards (G[24]00, Matrox Millenium
etc). You should use "video=atyfb:..." for Mach64-based cards and
"video=aty128fb:..." for Mach128-based cards.

HTH!
