This bug report seems to have devolved into an amalgam of different
issues, and the upstreamed bug report is closed as invalid due to being
not a driver problem but rather xorg.conf problems.
Re-test against natty and file new bug reports for each separate
problem.

The need for HorizSync and VertRefresh lines is probably due to failing
DDC probing of the monitor, and would be a separate bug. This is
unfortunately seen for several drivers/cards/monitor combinations.

The real bug is the r128 server crashing. Could the system be made to
default to the fbdev server when that happens?
I will try to get some debug information on the crash.

It seems the r128 driver crashes at startup on Lucid release. The
attached xorg.conf can be used as a workaround.

Ok, I've re-installed 9.04PPC on my iMac and tried this again.
DefaultFbBpp does *not* work. If I add this statement to the screen

I wonder whether in Intrepid this is related to the bug report I filed a

to work with the r128 driver, so I will leave this bug open.

As far as I can tell from my recent experiences the black screen means
that the ATI r128 drivers uses the VGA output instead of the builtin
