I have a PowerBook G3/450MHz (pismo) with broken screen, i intend to use the box as a mediastation if i am able to get the vga to work. I have NO lcd-screen connected to the box.
Booting from the CD i try to append the video=aty128fb:crt:1,lcd:0 And my connected crt-screen shows a white screen (with some text, can't exactly remember what) and the box begins booting the debian-installer ( i think, cant really see it, but it sounds like it uses the dvd-drive.=D). I tried appending video=aty128fb:crt:1,lcd:1 aswell, with the same result. Btw, if i boot the machine regularly with no extra params, the connected VGA-Device remains black. Anyone have any idea of how to get the VGA-Output working? /David 'fenrus' Syk
