Here's a copy of my XF86Config file.

Two other minor nuisances:

Since using yaboot, my console cursor has disappeared. Is this an OF or a
quoted
yaboot problem? It's very hard to navigate in vi to edit anything
(.config
quoted
files for one thing) without a cursor!
Completely ? Or does it appear with different colors depending on the VC
you are on ? I've seen such bug appear here or there but never took the
time to track it down...
No colors, no blinking no nothing, just blackness,- apart from the text
that prints out nicely. So, as long as you don't have to go back and insert
(in an editor, eg) things work OK. But, to edit a Config file to get it
back, I don't know exactly what to do. All this is in an attempt to get
XF86-4 to work, so I don't have a GUI "fall-back" ;->

I suspect an atyfb problem ;)
I had no problem with my 2.2.17 kernel build booting from BootX. atyfb is
generic, right?

Also, I can't figure out how to uninstall BootX. Throwing it away under
MacOS doesn't seem to help.
Remove the bootx extension that is in your MacOS Extensions folder. it
should appear near the top of the list when vieweing them by name.
