Hi,

so, after all i got a good price for an ibook (ibook2 mid 2002, 600mhz, ati radeon 
mobility M6 LY), and fist thing i do is installing mandrake 9.1 ppc on it. after some 
troubles with yaboot, urpmi which i googled out i still have problems getting XFree 
running.
only way to boot into linux is by setting 
video=ofonly
neither radeonfb nor atyfb work, all i get is blurry screen, which seems not healthy 
.. 
with video=ofonly boot is fine.
starting XFdrake it detects ATI radeon, ibook2 display with 1024x768 24bpp. during 
installation routine I have seen the test screen, after first reboot, i had to change 
to ofonly. and trying test option in XFdrake now hangs the system. nothing to see, no 
way back to the console.
so, which framebuffer is suggested for the ati radeon mobility M6 LY? some special 
configs in XFree i should know?

thankx.
alex
