@ojordan I haven't read through the logs extensively. I see the "no devices detected" and I see when turning the OpenFirmware framebuffer off, there's a conflict that goes away (still no devices detected). I also see that fbdev seems to be used on the ones that do work.

Other than that, I'm not really skilled enough to know what to look for. I'm simply trying to provide information and experiences. If you can tell me what else to try, I'll keep trying, but I'm no expert on these matters.

I didn't gather from the PowerPCFAQ that there was much value in trying to do nosplash, but I can give it a shot. I'll let you know.

When it succeeds, it seems to use fbdev and the desktop is pretty much unusable. So unless you can provide some advice (or point me in the direction of where I might find info) on how to tweak it to work, that's kind of out.

I'll give a shot at an xorg.conf but I'm no expert in these matters. I see the section in PowerPCFAQ and will give it a read, but none of those examples relate to my machine. Seems most are for Radeon anywho.
