I didn't look in details yet what's wrong, but I noticed that with the current bk 2.4test3: - video=ofonly doesn't work. We need to find some kludge to get this one back, as it's useful on some setup with broken video (and can be the only way to get the machine up) - aty128fb doesn't intialize console_fb_info (the Xpmac compat stuff). This is easily fixed by copy&pasting code from another driver, I'll have a fix for this in bk tonight - More annoying: I couldn't get XF4 to work on the Pismo with this kernel. I tried with or without aty128fb in the kernel, I tried XF4 with the plain fbdevhw driver, with the r128 driver without fbdev, and with the r128 driver on top of fbdev, and all I could get is a hung XFree on a black screen (I found no way to get the screen back with a console, but the machine still answer to telnet). The exact same XF4 binary works nicely on 2.2 Ben. ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
