Anyone know how to get a good console res, such as 128x48 or something with
the platinum card in an oldworld. There doesnt seem to be an explicit fb
driver for the platinum so I cant do something like

I notice BenH's site http://ppclinux.apple.com/~benh/ is still unavailable.
Are there any other sites with similar information and such available? The
input layer for example is supposedly documented on there (as well as franz

What can I do to get my display to use 24 bit (or 32 or 16 or 15) rather
than 8 bit colour? (pismo still)
I tried adding

to my yaboot.conf and rerunning ybin
now dmesg says
