I can get through BootX, get it to see the CDROM and get it to load the installer, but the video is scrambled as soon as the installer starts. I've used the force-fbdev and every permuation of force video and no video options using vmlinuz and all.gz in bootX. All the same result.
The monitor is an apple multiscan 15AV and I have tried a Sony multiscan 200 as well.
I opened the box to see what's inside. Ive got an add on PCI video card that came with the machine instead of an integrated video like that on the 8600s. It is labeled Twin Turbo 128+ on the chip, Twin Turbo 128MA v3.7 on the video BIOS, and has an IBM Palette DAC. Also I've got 8 RAMs welded on, so I'm guessing it's a 4MB memory. Is there a video setting I can specify in the options that will work with this card so I can see straight?
Thanks for any help
Mark
