Is there something in quik that needs to changed, or is the above command incorrect?have you tried just using video=atyfb ?According to http://www.jonh.net/lppcfom-serve/cache/1043.html you should usea cmode of 24 and probably also a lower vmode. Whats mclk?
Yes, just using video=atyfb causes the same issue. There is a difference somewhere in the way quik configures stuff and the way BootX/miBoot do it, using video=atyfb (+ all the various gubbins) from a BootX / miBoot boot works fine and gives you accelerated video, the same from a quik boot results in garbage.
It's a bit of a pain, to be frank, but I don't currently have the time to delve into the source of both to see what is happening.
