That did not do it.
I tried with both 10 and 10.1 Alpha 2 kernels.
I am using the onboard card. should I try an add on video card?
Here is the output of lspci:
00:00.0 Host bridge: Motorola MPC106 [Grackle] (rev 40)
00:0d.0 SCSI storage controller: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic 53c875 (rev

00:10.0 Class ff00: Apple Computer Inc. Heathrow Mac I/O (rev 01)

There seems to be a bug in the ATI drivers for the Beige G3. I ended
up using an old MCA card with the Mac DB15 plug in order to get the
system installed. I set it to load in runlevel 3 and then swapped in
the Ati card. The Ati card is very funky in text mode, but works fine
in X. I also was able to use a regular PC PCI video card and a VGA
monitor on this system and when BootX rebooted, the PC PCI card was
initialized first.
As for the IXMicro Twin Turbo, it appears that they have removed
support for it. I was able to get my 9600 to work with the following
command that I found in an old SuSE forum:
video=imsttfb:vmode:17,cmode:8.
I also found that when it starts the X Server, the colors were "off".
After switching to tty1 and back to X with Alt=F7, the colors were
fine. I have a 4MB version of the card. I was able to get it to work
under X, but was unable to properly configure it. I switched to the
Ati card, and it works fine now. This was in the 9600, but I was also
able to get the Ati card to work in the Beige G3 AFTER the system was
installed. Sax2 will not load with the change configuration with the
Twin Turbo card.....
I personally don't care for the Symbios logic cards. I've always had
better luck with the Adaptec cards.
Good luck.
