OK, I just had time to rebuild 2.4.8-pre3-ben0 with the patch undone.
This video arg with that kernel doesn't solve the problem.  I still
get no video on boot.

Wouldn't it have to be video=aty128fb:1280x1024-8@60 anyway, and is the modedb

video=mode specifies the global mode, for all fbdevs that use modedb.

even used on PPC yet?

That's not the right question :-) Modedb doesn't depend on the architecture,
but on the driver.

Yes, atyfb was the first one to have modedb. Remember, I have a RAGE II+ in my
LongTrail :-)

PowerMac/CHRP has even extra modedb support in macmodes.
