The kernel version is 2.2.6. If I start with the "No video driver" option
checked (from BootX), the startup messages siplly tell me that

MacOS display is /pci/ATY,RageLTPro
Using unsupported 1024x768 ATY,RageLTPro at 82801000, depth=32, pitch=4096
Console: switching to colour frame buffer device 128x48
fb0: Open Firmware frame buffer device on /pci/ATY,RageLTPro

Unfortunately, I can not telnet yet to the PB, so I can't see the startup
messages when I use the atyfb option...

Thanks, Albrecht.
