I am not sure if being dual-scan or not makes a difference or not ... I
think what's more important is your kernel have support for the graphics
chip in these powerbooks (which is the CT6555* for the 3400s and 2400s
models). Ever since linuxPPC 1999 (which I know are dirty words around
here :) and the 2.2.12 kernels - I've gotten Linux running without any
major graphics problems. In the text console, there were no issue that
I could remember. For X - I was able to get things up and running using
Xpmac.9 or .10.
