That did it for me, too :) .. I'd been getting nowhere with my config
file, but that seems to have done it for me.

Can I ask what version of XFree86 people using the Rage128 are using? I
was under the impression that the PPC's video bios was different to x86's
and hence support had only been introduced in XF4.2. Or perhaps the
'Option UseFBDev' line in the config file works around this..

I'm running the stock YDL2.1 (XF4.1.0-3d) and was thinking of upgrading to 4.2 to get my DVD's
working properly, but that seems pretty pointless now :)

Cheers,

Tim
