An additional difficulty in this instance is that with the radeon
9600/9800 the chipset is correctly identified as 'radeon' but that
driver does not work.
When that test fails it would be prudent for XFdrake to then suggest the
'universal' vesa driver rather than assuming that the user would know
what option to change.
Also of note is that on my system, in 9.1, with a radeon 9600 when using
the vesa driver the system was still useless unless I also used
vga=normal.
