I _think_ the problem here is aty128fb cannot setup an uninitalized card. 2.4 _might_ be able to help in this area. > The secondary card is a PC card, so it's not initialized by OF, but I > think the r128 fb driver does a proper initialization of the card, so > that shouldn't be the problem. You can check this 1st by seeing if dmesg mentions two cards. If it does try video=map:000111 (tty1-3 on fb0, 4-6 on fb1). If you don't have two cards showing up this will panic (!!!) -- Tom Rini (TR1265) http://gate.crashing.org/~trini/ ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
