Re: Tadpole Display Settings
When trying to boot Debian (both 4 and 5), it doesn't go beyond the OpenBoot.
I tried Aurora / Corona / Fedora, and the display jams up when the first box is supposed to be displayed ("Media test")
BTW, being aware this is not the right mailing list, would you by any chance know how I can update the OpenBoot using the Tadpole upgrade patch? (you can reply offline)
Thx,
Joseph

You get to the Linux framebuffer with the Tux in the top corner or still
jus in the OpenBoot Prompt?
