You really want to use the ati / r128 driver though, but that requires aty128fb in console, and it sounds like you may be running OFfb.
My yaboo.conf file contains this for my kernel options
append="video=aty128fb:vmode:22"
my display is one of the orrig Apple 22" cinema Flatpanel displays on a rage128 card.
XFree86config file:
I commented out the
option "UseFBdev"
i changed out the:
Driver "fbdev" for
Driver "r128" all i got when trying to start the xserver was an xserver error blue screen and an option trying to stop gdm or continue. I had this issure for quite some time and the fbdev driver was the only way I can use the flatpanel display.
