Can't change screen resolution G3 + YDL 3.0

All,

Successfully installed YDL 3.0 onto a Powerbook G3 (Old World).

After the install the screen resolution is stuck on 640x480.

Although we can change the depth of the screen to use more colours the
resolution is stuck.

The label on the bottom of the Powerbook tells me I have a 4MB Video
card. 

I've included my /etc/X11/XF86config file below... can anyone offer
advice on which driver to use for this.


Thanks


Simon
