No, I don't. Much to my surprise as well, I read those lines. Maybe someone out there can explain. My machine is a G3 233/DT Rev. 1 which means it does have the ATI Rage II and not the ATI Rage Pro chip. Therefore, I do not understand the first entry in my logfile, stating it detected some card in a PCI slot, unless the onboard graphics chip, somehow is hardwired to the PCI bus. Would that make any sense?
Did you try and pass any kernel parameters at boot-time? It certainly helped me a lot in finding my setup.
Greetings,
Alex
