Is your screen only splitted in X or also on the console? Console splitting can be avoided with additional kernel boot parameters ether in yaboot.conf: append = 'video=atyfb:vmode:14:cmode:32' or in BootX: video=atyfb:vmode:14:cmode:32 I think a Wallstreet will need BootX to boot up. These settings will give a resolution of 1024x768 at 60Hz with 32 bit colour. For different modes have a look at http://sdb.suse.de/de/sdb/html/olh_ppc_framebuffer.html To get the same resolution under X upgrade to xfree-4.2.0, run sax2, save the configuration and put the following modeline into your /etc/X11/XF86Config Section "Modes" Identifier "Modes[0]" Modeline "1024x768x60Hz" 65 1024 1048 1184 1344 768 771 777 806 -hsync -vsync EndSection Section "Screen" DefaultDepth 32 SubSection "Display" Depth 32 Modes "1024x768x60Hz" EndSubSection Device "Device[0]" Identifier "Screen[0]" Monitor "Monitor[0]" EndSection Grüßli, Micha
