Re: iBook framebuffer



Ok, that does at least start to solve the problem.  I no longer see an error
when it tried to load r128.o.  On the iBook I have, firewire, if I turn
off the novideo option, I lose my display.  I was playing around with
the append line and set video=aty128fb.  This did not change anything.
The output from loading up is

Using unsupported 800x600 ...
__ioremap(): ...
fb0: Open Firmware frame buffer device on ...

And cat /proc/fb results in

0 OFfb ...

Any ideas?
