ATI Radeon PCI & G3 DT - Loosing display connection

[Thomas]

Hi all

I have YDL 3.0.1 running on a beige G3 Mac upgraded with a SONNET G4
500, Ultra-ATA 66 HD, DVD-ROM, 512 MB RAM and the ATI Radeon PCI.

I do only use the Radeon but not the internal video connector of the
motherboard (ATI Mach64 RageII) and have a 15" TFT display attached to
the Radeon.

I boot using BootX 1.2.2 with kernel-2.4.22-g and have the "No video
driver" option enabled.

All works fine at a first glance, YDL boots and displays all messages
until login on my display.

I then login as user, type "startx" and my X11 desktop appears.

All is fine, the resolution is 1024x768 and it looks all fine.

BUT:

Whenever I try to enter a console outside X11 or shutdown X11 by logging
out, my display gets out of sync and I do not have a visible console
anymore.

The only chance I have is to type "reboot" blindly and have the machine
restarted.

Any help is appreciated!

This is my XF86config file:
