I have it working. Here is my configuration.
1. Ben's latest precompiled kernel
2. franz's x rpms (from devel.linuxppc.org)
3. The ati moduled compiled from the linuxppc.org tree
4. I took the config file for the pismo at http://linuxppc.org/files/pub/xf4
and edited it for ati instead of r128.
5. I made sure my /etc/X11/X pointed to /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86 and ran
startx.

voila mes amis!
