There were many variations of hardware sold under that name,
not all of them supported by the Plan9 ATI driver.  Seeing
the image split into multiple vertical stripes like that is
the usual symptom.  Unless you can get the ATI driver fixed,
you should try another card.  I switched to NVIDIA GeForce3
cards and they have worked well.
