By typing 'video=ofonly' I've now been able to install potato on my G3 powerbook.


hmm I have a g3 powerbook firewire (pismo) and have never had to pass that as
an argument on boot, the aty128fb driver works perfectly and detects all the
necessary video stuff for a good concsole resolutiont (128x48).

You need to have the aty128 fb in the kernel you use and it should all work.


Hi Steve, I hope what you say is true. There is a difference between your and mine monitor though, since I have passive matrix and you got probably active matrix. But I will try to get install aty128 fb via dselect (I suppose it is just a matter of looking through those lists...).

But if what you say is so obvious, don't you think that it should have been included in potatoe or in YDL 2.0 for that matter?

BTW, I have gathered the (un)relevant info here, perhaps you or anyone can tell if aty128fb will work for this card or not:

Screen card
 Card name:  ATY, 264LT-G
 Card model: ATY,LT-G
 ROM card number: 113-XXXXX-1.0028
