Hi,

Thanks for the info.  But unfortunately, my machine requires yaboot to even
boot at all.

I looked in aty128fb.c in the kernel and they hav hardwired defaults which I
can easily change but I need to know about timing info that Mac OS uses.

Do you know of any probe code or anything at all that can determine timing info
from the MacOS side of things.

Thanks,
