you could try messing around with the XFree86.config file
or, you could try kernel argument video=aty128
but, if its a lombard, then most likely it is because the standard xfree86 does
not seem to support acceleration for the mobility chip set with r128 driver, and
uses framebuffer.
i remeber there was a version running on linuxPPC,.
<insert-google-search>
http://linuxppc.org/hardware/lombard/index.php3
has some good general info, and it looks like -> XFree86-4.0.99.1-0d supports
accelleration.
are these changes in the yellowdog distro?
any hints on merging if they arent?
