Booted apple video=ofonly Screen looks good. |

livecd ~ # cat /proc/fb |

So even though the chip is a Radeon it doesn't seem to be a good frame |
| 42 |
buffer choice. |

livecd ~ # lspci | grep VGA |

I noticed the list of video options when I boot are: |
| 50 |
|
| 51 |
ofonly, radeonfb, rivafb, atyfb, aty128fb, tdfxfb |
| 52 |
|
| 53 |
so I tried all of them. The only one that works nicely is 'ofonly'. |
| 54 |
|
| 55 |
Hopefully the info above will be enough to give me some pointers. |

Thanks, |
