I have a 17in apple studio display and a g4 agp with an ATI rage 128pro.
The kernel I'm running is 2.2.15pre19-ben1. I do not use "no video" in my
yaboot.conf. If i do then the kernel does not even boot.
I run the monitor at 1024x768x24. No idea what Hz though All seems fine.
How do i know if the acceleration is working at all?
