        What's the best video kernel argument for a PowerBook G3
        (Lombard)? video=atyfb:vmode:15,cmode:24 ? (Essentially, all
        I need to know is the rate in Hz.)

        One reason I ask is that, although X Windows seems quite snappy
        for most things, it seems a bit sluggish when scrolling Netscape
        windows. (You can watch it redraw in "waves.")

        - Paul

        P.S.: IMHO, the YDL installation guide should list (in the
        chart is has of video modes), which are the rirght ones for
        common Apple monitors.
