ATI Rage XL / Mach64GM hangs system when 'modprobe atyfb'

I have a HP t5500 system with a Transmeta Crusoe TM5800 CPU and a video
chip ATI Mach64GM

lspci says:

0000:00:0d.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Rage XL (rev 27)


on the chip it says:

ATI
RAGE XL
215R3LASB41
DE5541.00
0340AA
TAIWAN


My kernel is a 2.6.12 from Debian.

Doing "modprobe atyfb" completely hangs the system, keyboard doesn't
work, Ctrl+Alt+Del doesn't work, Caps Lock doesn't work, only switching
off the power works.

When running X /var/log/Xorg.0.log says:

What can I do to make framebuffer work on it?
I mean the dedicated framebuffer driver, vesafb works, but that won't
give me accelerated DirectFB.

Anyone had this chipset working? If so, what kernel?
