Re: aty128fb does not work in newer sawtooth machines

Hi,

Thanks for the info.  But unfortunately, my machine requires yaboot to even
boot at all.

I looked in aty128fb.c in the kernel and they hav hardwired defaults which I
can easily change but I need to know about timing info that Mac OS uses.

Do you know of any probe code or anything at all that can determine timing info
from the MacOS side of things.

this is the case with aty64 on the g3 laptop. video isn't right if you use
yaboot but it's fine with bootx.

Thanks,

Kevin
