The video chip in the PowerMac 7200 and 7500 is codename Control. It
is an internal Apple chip, the only acceleration possible for it is
from the valkyrie frame buffer driver. Linux should automatically
detect it, if not put

"video=controlfb:vmode:17:cmode:16" in BootX's more kernel arguments
(without the quotes). 

Good luck :)
