26 i think the problem is that you are using vga, radeonfb has no idea
27 what is connected, a guess without being there to see. try appending
28 the video size like video=radeonfb:1920x1200-24@60. you should be
29 able to get the current mode from using open firmware frame buffer /
30 sys/class/graphics/
