[ydl-gen] YDL on PB17

Hi Warren,

What does xvinfo indicate?

Also check what driver you're using in your xorg.conf:

gwiz% grep Driver /etc/X11/xorg.conf
        Driver          "keyboard"
        Driver          "mouse"
        ### Available Driver options are:-
        Driver  "ati"

If that last line has 'Driver  "fbdev"', try changing it to ati
(or perhaps radeon), and restarting your X server.

You can also check /var/log/Xorg.0.log for possible error messages
from the X server.
