Resolution 800x600 problem to install MDK 9.1

Hi,

I try to make a clean reinstall of mdk 9.1 on my old ibook 366. The maximum screen 
resolution is 800x600 and the card is the Ati rage mobility 128.

My big problem is that whatever I try to pass(benh, gui-old, atyfb128, aty128fb, 
fbdev, force-fbdev, vmode:10, [EMAIL PROTECTED], etc.), the gui install is not usable. 
Sometime, my cursor seem normal but that is all. I looked the /tmp/Xconf and I really 
think that my problem lies with the default 1024x768.

Can I change "live" the screen resolution for 800x600?
If I kill anything, the install stop. Also, apart "cat" what else can I use to edit 
during the install ?


The text installation seem too broken to pass the license page. There is a problem 
with "can't load the keyboard" 115 or 114, etc. I did the text install with 8.2, long 
ago. I though it worth to mention and I could try different thing to debug it if you 
want Stew but I don't know what.
