After fixing configure.ac to generate the right define for X_BYTE_ORDER with a 
fix something like (sorry I don't have the real patch handy, it's at home):

-AC_C_BIGENDIAN
+AC_C_BIGENDIAN([ENDIAN=X_BIG_ENDIAN],[ENDIAN=X_LITTLE_ENDIAN])

the ati driver behaves the same as the fbdev driver.  The server starts and 
the screen turns black, and then hangs.  I haven't debugged it further.

Thanks,
