I'm also curious about this.

Is video=1280x1024-8 at 60 supposed to haved worked?  It doesn't work for
me, but video=atyfb128:1280x1024-8 at 60 does work -- does that mean my
system is misconfigured in some way?  If so I'd like to fix it.  I'm
running 2.4.8-pre3-ben0 on a G4/450 with a Rage128 graphics card, a
DVIator dvi->adc adapter, and an Apple lcd17.  dmesg says:

aty128fb: Rage128 Pro PF (AGP) [chip rev 0x1] 16M 128-bit SDR SGRAM (1:1)
Console: switching to colour frame buffer device 160x64
fb0: ATY Rage128 frame buffer device on PCI
