Do you see the two boot prompts from yaboot and then nothing once the 
kernel starts?  Or nothing ever?

Take a look in /etc/yaboot.conf; do you see "video=" anywhere?  If so, 
what comes after the equals sign?

Here's an experiment to try:

Be sure your system is set to boot into text mode, not into X11.  Attach 
the 17" and reboot.  Wait long enough to be sure the system has reached 
the login prompt.  Then (typing slowly and being careful not to make 
mistakes, because you can't see what you type on the screen), log in as 
root and run this command:

	fbset 1280x1024-60

(Before trying this, maybe you should make sure you actually have the 
fbset command installed.)

And what video card do you have?
