Not Sure which one that is Ben, I am new to some the jargon used on

afaik mean As Far As I Know, (sometimes I'm a bit slow on the uptake) I
actually compiled 2.6.11.6 two days ago and that didn't work for me, and
the last build I did I built aty128fb as a module, and was going to try
loading it after login, but I kept running out of space on all my
partitions, so I am in the course of rebuilding my system now, and I may
take that advice and build one of your own old 2.4 kernels that have
been so widely raved about on the 'net. Is rsync the only way to get
them, or do you have a tarball file somewhere, on a dialup connection
that manually times out after 6 hours, rsyncing kernel source may be out
of the question. (It only gets 28.8 k speeds, damn the copper :( )
Hrm.... 2.6.11.6 should work fine. Tried using the pmac_defconfig file
(arch/ppc/configs/pmac_defconfig) ? It contains all you need for most
mac models. aty128fb should definitely be built-in, not a module, and
you shouldn't have to add any special kernel argument, it should pick up
your card automatically.
What model of machine is this exactly ?
Ben.
