sorry this won't work, yaboot has no such option `video=' so the kernel never sees this. the correct way is:
Interesting... I certainly believe you, since you would know. There are number of sample yaboot configs floating around in the mailing list archives with video=foo, obviously misinformation is being spread. (What! misinformation on the internet?!? I'm shocked!)
The reason I assumed it was working was that I do see messages referring to the aty128 video on boot. Perhaps I'm lucky and the kernel is figuring stuff out for itself. I'll certainly try changing the video= option to the correct append="video=..." version and see if it affects my configuration for the better!
Thanks for the correction. -raf --
