If you enabled CONFIG_PROC_DEVICETREE in the kernel, you can find much useful information under /proc/device-tree. For example, under /proc/device-tree/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ATY,CrownParent/ATY,Crown_A $ hexdump -d width 0000000 00000 01280 $ hexdump -d height 0000000 00000 00854 which means that I have a 1280x854 display. You might have to substitute the path above, depending on your powerbook generation. To reconfigure X, type # dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 You will probably have to tweak /etc/X11/XF86Config(-4)? by hand, since you won't find the correct resolution in there. Also, you must probably add a ModeLine for your display. I have seen a couple of modelines on this list (again, the exact one depends on your powerbook generation). > Im running potato and XF86 3.3.6 I'm running sid and XF86 4.2.0 :) You should probably upgrade to woody. As for XF86, my Radeon M7 wasn't supported before XF86 4.2.0. I don't know what video hardware you've got, but Michel has posted a link to XF86 4.2.0 binaries to this list on several occasions.
