1 Hello !
2
3 I try to install gentoo 1.2 on an oldworld ppc 4400 (aka 7200).
4 I´ve managed to get bootX booting the system, but when the kernel is loading
5 the videocard ( onboard ATI) switches to a resolution so that I can not see
6 anything useful any more..
7 Does anybody know which kernel parameter(s) to use in bootX at startup to get
8 this fixed (kernel parameter for video card, resolution) ?
9
10 By the way, can I use a PCI video card and a PC monitor ?
11
12 Right now I am using a black&white apple monitor of the size of an A4 sheet
13 of paper (portrait)
14
15 thanx in advance for help,
