The xf probe says 2MB, but in fact I have 4MB.  The dmesg line says:

atyfb: 3D RAGE PRO (PQFP, PCI) [0x4750 rev 0x7c] 4M SGRAM, 14.31818
MHz XTAL, 230 MHz PLL, 75 Mhz MCLK

Which looks good. I am confident that the xfree86-pmac rsync driver will probe
that correctly using fbdev.

I tried both UseFBDev on and off.  It didn't seem to make any
difference.  Btw, which is correct setting if I'm not using the fbdev
driver?

I don't think any version of the ati driver will work without "UseFBDev" on
PPC yet, and you need atyfb for that.

Thanks, I've forwarded this to the apus-user list.

Speaking of configs, I have a Device entry and a Screen entry for each
physical display but they're all sharing the same Monitor entry (all
three physical monitors are identical).   It that likely to work?

Don't know, if it doesn't work, just duplicate the Sections and give them
different Identifiers.
