Bug#607767: Blank screen on starting X with Dual 2 GHz G5 and X800XT; DRM module not loading for radeon driver

[dpickett <dpickettny@earthlink.net>]

From what I understand, I should add "drm.debug=7" to my yaboot.conf, run ybin and reboot. This is what I did. If I'm wrong, please tell me what I'm doing wrong. yaboot.conf attached.

## yaboot.conf generated by debian-installer
##
## run: "man yaboot.conf" for details. Do not make changes until you have!!
## see also: /usr/share/doc/yaboot/examples for example configurations.
##
## For a dual-boot menu, add one or more of:
## bsd=/dev/hdaX, macos=/dev/hdaY, macosx=/dev/hdaZ

boot=/dev/sdb2
device=/ht@0,f2000000/pci@7/k2-sata-root@c/@1/@0
partition=3
root=/dev/sdb3
timeout=100
install=/usr/lib/yaboot/yaboot
magicboot=/usr/lib/yaboot/ofboot
enablecdboot
macosx=/dev/sda3
drm.debug=7

image=/boot/vmlinux
	label=Linux
	read-only
	initrd=/boot/initrd.img
	append="video=ofonly"

image=/boot/vmlinux.old
	label=old
	read-only
	initrd=/boot/initrd.img.old
	append="video=ofonly"
