ATI Mach32 not working on NeXTSTEP 3.1 #4845

Description

What happened?

When running NeXTSTEP 3.1 with a Mach32 card and the ATI Ultra Pro driver selected the OS will switch display modes but will not display the desktop (only displaying the last console messages in the upper-left of the screen):
Monitor_1_20240921-175859-061

I performed a bisect and found that this behavior started in build 5770.
