It was too obvious to go undetected for long :-). Now if the kernel framebuffer driver (atyfb, and don't check the 'no video driver' option when using BootX) reportds the correct vram size the X server should see the correct size as well. If you have trouble with the predefined modes, just use the ones returned by fbset -x. I'll rsync again to see what else may have changed. Michael ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list.
