Well, in Fedora Core 4 test 3 (kernels 2.6.11.* and 2.6.12-rc*): video switching at boot from yaboot with Open Firmware to Tux with scrolling VGA text is problematic, and switching video from X11 to VGA-style text virtual consoles does not work at all on my Mac mini. [On the same hardware, Mac OS X has no problems at all.] Perhaps this is just a fumbled handoff _from_ Open Firmware video to direct video on the hardware, but "support" certainly includes that. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=156824 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=156826 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3280 --
