Which 17" Powerbook?  Among other things, Apple changed the video
hardware with the last model upgrade.  My 1.33GHz 17" Powerbook is
running nicely with radeonfb from a 2.6.0-test7-ben0 kernel and
XFree86 4.3.99 from Michel's dri-trunk packages.

No.  Most of these files are used by molvconfig to set up the mode
database that mol uses.  And /etc/fb.modes is used by fbset.

Regards, Jens.
