Hodgey,
I doubt I know enough to help with how or why the fields are swapped but I was wondering which drivers you had tried. Maybe it's just a driver compatibility issue. Of course, that offset looks just like I get with both my X850XL and X1800XL which I understand to be par for the course with PCIe cards. Interesting that its occurring on an AGP card with what I'm assuming is a Rage Theater, not T200.
What exact version of 9600 VIVO are you using. I've found a fair number of similar things (
eBay, old reviews, etc.) now that I've looked around a bit. Sapphire, Gigabyte and HIS (at least) made similar items. They all seem to use the Rage Theater, not the Theater 200. Gigabyte seems to have made VIVO and what they called V/D/VO (which I interpret as meaning VGA/DVI/Video Out) versions. The V/D/VO has the pads for the Rage chip but it's not there.
Would earlier drivers be more appropriate for the 9600/Rage Theater combination? I noticed that at least Gigabyte and HIS still seem to have drivers available for download but I'm not sure what they are.
I also dug around and found my old VIVO card, an HIS X1650 VIVO. It looks about the same as
this
With it were the installation disks for it and a similar X1600 that broke. The X1600 disk includes some interesting old drivers I haven't seen elsewhere (I don't think...) with 3 WDM options. Maybe HIS used one install disk for everything ATI that they sold at that time and maybe even included drivers for older cards.
Information I pulled together from the .inf files of the X1600 disk:

Take a look at the Gigabyte and HIS sites. Maybe they have something of use. I could also upload an ISO from the X1600. It even has Norwegian manuals for a whole slew of cards! Not that ATI manuals are all that much use
