For the record, I see the same here. This is on 32-bit G5 SMP -CURRENT.

....
(II) RADEON(0): Set up overlay video
Bus error: 10 at address 0x4250d1a4
....
vgapci0 at pci0:0:16:0:	class=0x030000 card=0x41521002 chip=0x41521002 
rev=0x00 hdr=0x00
     vendor     = 'ATI Technologies Inc'
     device     = 'RV350 AR [Radeon 9600]'
     class      = display
     subclass   = VGA

In another machine, 64-bit G5 SMP, I have this one which works:

NV34 [GeForce FX 5200 Ultra]


I'll take a look and see if I can find something.

Gruss,
