What kernel version does Yellow Dog Linux 3.01 use? Does it include radeonfb?
Recent versions of radeonfb should recognize your Mobility Radeon 9200.

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.

The radeonfb in that kernel may be too old for your Radeon. What does `lspci -v' say?
