They changed CPU-Board, Chache, Flex Cable and the Display. Don't know why. On the MacOS all works ok so far. Then I tried LinuxPPC kernel 2.2.6 with no video driver off -> should use atyfb. I worked for half an hour on the text mode trying to build one of the latest kernel. After this half hour the screen went into unreadable chars. As usual I thought nothing bad and did a reboot. Same situation even worse. Changed back to kernel 2.2.4, same behaviour. Then I checked the option no video driver. Huh, the book came in readable chars up. At least the console modus works. I then shutdown because I'm very unsure now. I was working with PB and Linux for quite a long time with different kernels. Since BootX gives the option to enter kernel options I did. I set video=atyfb vmode:14,cmode:32 and mclk=63. Now I don't know if I hurt the book with this Linux or do I have a *** book which is very affective on things like that. Does anybody had symptoms like that? Do I have set something wrong? Any hints are appreciated, thanks Andreas [[ This message was sent via the linuxppc-dev mailing list.
