Hi, After having fought for a few days, I found a way to set up the accelerated display on a Powerbook Wallstreet G3. If one just installs Suse 7.3, it is impossible to get the right XF86Config file from SaX2 with the ati driver. The modelines are not correct and give, at best a white screen. Scary. So the recipee is the following : - First, make the installation, and when the screen section comes, try to specify the fbdev driver - then, the most annoying part, you have to rebuild the Suse kernel so it does not have the aty64fb driver in (no Mach64 driver, nor as a module, nor included into the kernel). The aty128fb should be present (Rage128). If this is not done, there is an interaction between the two and you see a split screen. - If you already tried to install, run "sax2 -m 0=fbdev", and as previously, set up the display using fbdev. - This works but is not accelerated. - Now, you will have to tweak manually the file /etx/X11/XF86Config. In this file, replace the 'Driver "fbdev"' line in the "Device" section by 'Driver "ati"' - I also added "-HSync -VSync" to the "Modeline "1024x768"" line of the "Modes" section, but I don't know if it is really necessary. - The DefaultDepth should be 15 (thousands of colors) , it doesn't work correctly with 16 or 24 (millions of colors) That's it, when you reboot, the display should be accelerated. I hope these instructions will be useful (even in SDB ?)
