Will & Arvydas,
Success! Well kinda...I got X up in 16bit color depth and using fbdev. I took 
Will's suggestion and installed linux-benh-devel-2.4.19-pre10-ben0 kernel 
from ppckernel.org using the instructions at 
http://www.ibooklinux.net/plain_page.php?caller=ibooklinux.php3+record=85. 
Then I used xconfigurator which found the ATI Mobility Radeon card. I chose 
the failsafe settings for the monitor. When I set any other settings, X would 
hang.  Then I edited the XF86Config-4 to set the default color depth to 16. 
Arvydas, I've attached my XF86Config-4 file, hope it works with the 800mhz 
Powerbook. I'm not sure if this mail list lets you include attachments.

Sound seems to work also with the new kernel. When I first loaded the new 
kernel I did get some funkiness with the text console, but it seemed to clear 
up once I brought up X for the first time.
