Thanks for the tip.

I tried most of your configuration hints,
but without real success.

When I use the openfirmware framebuffer (CONFIG_FB_OF=y),
VGA-Out with the "close-lid-on-startup" trick works in 
CRT-only mode in console and X. (nothing on the lcd)

Without framebuffer I get no display on lcd or crt.

With radeonfb (2.4.20-ben1) and the "close-lid-on-startup" 
trick I get a black screen after kernel is loading.
(only yaboot is displayed correctly)

With radeonfb (2.4.21-pre3) I get no display in "normal" mode.

With openfirmware framebuffer the luminously apple is not
deactivated in suspend mode. (i get thermal problems)

Now I'm trying DRI-trunk and it would be nice to
have DRI working. 

My XFree86.0.log and XF86Config-4 is here:

glxinfo: direct rendering: No
tuxracer: black screen, but sound.

Any idea's what's going wrong with vga-out or dri?

Thanks in advance.

bye
