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

Hi,
Well from the of-device tree I have found out that my graphics card device id
is 0x5046 which equates to a Rage 128 Pro PF card.
Luckily the r128 driver in XFree 4.0 knows about this card and it is not
significantly different from the Rage128 RE card I have in my B+W G3.
I think the whole thing comes down to the default timing info being okay for
Rage128RE but not okay for RAGE128PF

I will keep looking.
I am going to add this card to the Xpmac source so that it tries to use its
acceleration code simply on the straight OF frame buffer. If that works, then
I should be able to use Xpmac to get some of timing info.
