So what's your theory on why it didn't work for R? I'm also curious about this. Is video=1280x1024-8@60 supposed to haved worked? It doesn't work for me, but video=atyfb128:1280x1024-8@60 does work -- does that mean my system is misconfigured in some way? If so I'd like to fix it. I'm running 2.4.8-pre3-ben0 on a G4/450 with a Rage128 graphics card, a DVIator dvi->adc adapter, and an Apple lcd17. dmesg says: aty128fb: Rage128 Pro PF (AGP) [chip rev 0x1] 16M 128-bit SDR SGRAM (1:1) Console: switching to colour frame buffer device 160x64 fb0: ATY Rage128 frame buffer device on PCI -- reshapiro@mediaone.net ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list.
