Where do I pull the sources for this kernel from ?ftp.kernel.org Ben.Pulled the 2.6.11.6 sources and applied the .12-rc2 patch. Still no video after booting. The last thing visible on the screen is: setup_arch: bootmem arch: exitHrm... and aty128fb is built into the kernel ? Very strange ... How many connectors on you card ? Is the "other" connector working ? Ben.
No - I do NOT have aty128 compiled in, neither static or as a module. I
did not think dependencies work that way (i.e. it'd SEEM more logical if
newer hardware depended on older hardware, but not older hardware on the
drivers for the newer stuff). I will compile it in and report back
tonight.
Also - the Mach64 card has 2 ports - a VGA port, and the old Mac-style
video port. I haven't had a monitor with that type of connector for a
while (the old mac style) and I've been using a VGA LCD panel. But I
will see if I can find an adaptor to let me use the VGA monitor on that
port and also report the results of that.
Thanks again Ben.

P.S. The 2.6.12-rc2 fixed some other problems which I'll detail in my
next note to deb-ppc.
