Hi folks,
I'm new to YDL and have a problem with video settings. I'm installing
YDL 2.3 - recommended packages.
I have a G4 Cube with ATI 128 Pro, and Apple 17" Studio Display LCD
connected using ADC. I installed using text-based installer but I can't
seem to get any video after boot.
The installation guide says to use linux video=aty128fb:vmode:14 for
kernel args at the secondary prompt, but that doesn't do it for me.
There's a very brief flicker of some text and then it's black -
permanently. I've also tried vmode 20 and novideo to no avail.
I can boot in safe mode using the tidbits cd - that seems fine. But I
don't know how to set the video. I'd prefer to use 1280 x 1024 if
that's supported, or 1024 x 768 if not.
Thanks for any help.....Peter Lovell
