You might want to take a peek at: http://sdb.suse.de/en/sdb/html/olh_ppc_apple_tft.html They recommend using: video=aty128fb:vmode:22 I used an ATI rage 128 for a while with my cinema display. I had occasional problems when I rebooted. It worked fine in OSX, but it did not always initialize properly (i.e. sometimes it would not display the "happy mac" or open firmware, but would work always with OSX).
I have a nvidia geforce3 which I want to use.. the suse page said it is not suported.. is it now? I am hoping i can get the nvidia card to work.. after i know the rage128 worked.. should i just try the nvidia firstI use a Radeon now, which works flawlessly.
i am going to try this.If you can't see a tty, then you can't use X (from what I have seen). So the first problem is make sure you can see the tty. It may work using the video line suggested in the SUSE page above.
