use yaboot as said. at the moment i am running  2.4.0-t7 paulus-kernel.
sometimes i have some blue dots on my screen but  the rest is fine.

i have also attached my xf86config-file. the values in the screen
section were floating around in the net - do not ask me where i found
them. as you see i do not use them, the ati-driver determines its own
values and they are much better. comment out the lines with "Xkb..." i
need them because of my german keyboard layout.

it should work now - good luck ;-)
