Hi,
we were successfully able to install 7.1 on a PowerBook G4 Titanium (no kernel parameter) and on a cube with Apple Cinema Display (kernel parameter video=aty128fb:vmode:22). Almost all parts (USB-mouse, USB-printer, network card, modem, sound, mol) are running out of the box.
The hole installation was done in text mode. Then we created manually the necessary XFree86 configuration file. For the PowerBook we used the file from the provided link (http://ftp.linuxppc.org/kernels/titanium/) . For the Cinema Display we used as a starting point XFree86.g4 from the CD1 and the parameters from vmode:22 and came up with the following modeline:
Modeline "1600x1024" 108.5 1600 1688 1704 1808 1024 1025 1026 1036 +hsync +vsync
sax2 is supposed todo the right thing, does it work for you? It should pick the console framebuffer settings and generate a working modeline. The kernel 2.4 should autodetect your model, so you proably dont need a video= parameter. Gruss Olaf -- $ man clone BUGS Main feature not yet implemented...
