Narrowed down the problem a bit more. Specifying "video=aty128fb:mode:17" works; also without the mode. But, adding a depth parm (8,16,24, or 32) causes the fb init failure. It defaults to 8 and fbset works for 8,15,16,32 but 24 causes a blurry image. Henry ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
