1 I got the fbdev version of the config file working by setting the default
2 depth to 16 instead of 24. This is an old 233 mhz box, and slow video isn't
3 going to make that much difference, I think. I would like to know at some
4 point how to get ATI video going with "real" drivers for my faster machine
5 when I move it from OS X to gentoo - maybe I have to compile it into the
6 kernel when I do my genkernel -menuconfig all command?

8 Thanks!

33 You should probably take a look at the PPC FAQ[1]. I'm not exactly sure
34 which chipset your Mac has, but if you provide the output of
35 Xorgautoconfig --dump, I'll take a look at it.
