So, as the subject line tells you, I GOT IT TO WORK !!!!
Thanks a lot to all of you for your help.
So, a bit more detail. I used 2.4.0-test8 kernel that I found precompiled on http://kernel.xorsis.com with 2 arguments:
devfs=nomount
video=aty128fb:vmode:10:depth:16:
The Frame-buffer pengo is now the right color
I then used an out-of-the-x-force-debian-packages X4 install, with the XF86Config available on http://hadess.net/files/ppc/ibook
and I now have TrueColor. I just need to tweak the config files for the kbd and such to work as expected. I'll compile the kernel myself this week-end to create a nice .deb, and make it available
I reckon that the PCI handling could be part of the problem... Or is that the fact that aty128fb initializes the Card properly this time ?
Thanks a lot Michel, Ben and Olaf for your help.
PS: Ethan, I *promise* I will try newer ybin...
