ioctl FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO: Invalid argument Use 15? Any depth greater than 8 gives the same error. Could you post your kernel options? This sounds like you're not using the aty1288fb driver. Michael

I now have a configuration file for X that sort of works, using the fbdev device. But I can't get any color depth more than 8bpp to work. And also, the colors are messed up at 8bpp... I got some information elsewhere (http://sdb.suse.de/sdb/en/html/olh_ppc_framebuffer.html) which talks

I found out what the problem was with X. The iBookDV install guide on hadess.net turns out to be a little out of date. You should not put the novideo line in your yaboot.conf, and then aty128fb will work correctly, even under an old (2.2.x) kernel. Thanks to hadess for patiently

(I've tried playing with hadess.net's suggested XF86Config, but I never got it to do anything but lock up my iBook.) If anyone has working configuration files for these, could you please send them to me or post them to the list? Thanks, Jeremy
