Re: X starts, but it displays strange things

I've put a copy of my XF86Config-4 at

http://juju.net.nz/michaelh/stuff/

Again, this is against kernel 2.4.0-test11 with
xserver-xfree86-4.0.2-1.  My yaboot.conf section is close to:

image=/boot/vmlinux-2.4.0-test11-good
        label=good
        root=/dev/hda10
        read-only
        append="video=aty128fb:vmode:10:depth:8:"
