http://pciids.sourceforge.net/iii/?i=1002 gives the chip as RV350, but I
have read the core is new, and not related to the core of the 9600 (the
real RV350), see http://www20.tomshardware.com/graphic/20031229/ frex.

In any case, it's just a name, vidix will just treat it as a RV350 which
is probably why not everything works.

Sorry, I'm not really a programmer, so can't help much more...
