I'm a bit stym'd by lack of kernel documentation refering to the ATI framebuffer, and what little info I have refers to using Open Firmware on the PowerPC to set the framebuffer paramaters. I've used a similar append line (video=atyfb:vesa:) but it doesn't actually do anything. Maybe I'm using the wrong mode or the wrong name or something. - -- Ferret no baka -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: 2.6.3ia Charset: noconv iQEVAwUBN6cjadZwc6w4vgodAQE6Lwf6A76fM0DDg/5heHiaXJVfcaM/ZFLv+e56 W6DkDyNJp+GqDRU2cRNFlT2q/KUiIlLRWu1cTzMYbuGUOGzOb0rJGzkgGorqJrwb q1VufEc0dUON6fb0NNgQszqwut5853P9nix6/2t+1ThWQEqzLjxWToxtiIWNuBrA qA2120I//1F1PX5yWgAgc5TkzfoGz64wS57JEQoLqAF9n/0TF+46nx1SXejN7G58 mBv9lz9DV+nr++z6fhtlx3C4ABsC7m91Baq1LNQUWHhm/phO//54SH4EKLAXrHnr A/oNLH89z3Whl0F95Jw9GHcCv4ZJetQDcexGbYmAAnz9SX8/83f/Bg== =0HrL -END PGP SIGNATURE-
