One of these days, I too may try OF booting. Anyway, about the white "LCD fire" as some of my friends have termed it, I recall that occuring often before the MCLK code was added to atyfb control. Solution: add a mclk param to your atyfb params. If that is the cause, it might clear up. My wallstreet/300 has a mclk of 100, though some people have set theirs to 83. (mine does work at 83) so the new video line would be "video=atyfb:vmode:14,cmode:32,mclk:100" or 83. If you'd like to share your expiriences with GLX and OF-booting with me, I would be grateful. (I am still using utah-glx with Rage hardware disabled) Thank you for your time. -- Joseph P.
