Powerbook G4 17" and YDL fixed!

[Justin Mack]

All right, I think I have everything set up similar to what Mike had 
and I do believe I am making progress.  The only problem now is that 
when I try to start X, I get an error back that no screens were found.  
More specifically the error is that the module "radeon" can't be found. 
  I thought I had transfered over the drivers correctly, but I may have 
messed up.  Any thoughts on this?  Thanks.
