Yellow Dog Linux

Finally download YDL Final Release and installed G5 2GHz Dual
It is pretty good!
but I have dual monitor (Apple Cinema Display 23in + Eizo Nanao FlexScan T766, 19in)
and my display card is ATI Readeon 9800 Pro
so CRT display (Eizo) does not display

does anyone some idea ?

As far as i know the 2.6.x kernel should support that card at least as a frame buffer; have you tried add append="video=ofonly" to your yaboot config file and see if the low lvl framebuffer driver will work (at least its a start)

from /etc/X11/XF86Config

Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
ModelName "Monitor Model"
UseModes "Modes0"
HorizSync 30.0 - 130.0
VertRefresh 50.0 - 60.0

How is this ?

ive never really messed w/ dual displays (though i remember hearing that v4.0 supports all the dual moniters for g5 boxes) anyone w/ more experience on dual moniters-mines limited to hooking up a crt moniter to my ibook and saying cool

error message of Eizo Nanao FlexScan T766 's screen is,

that's all.

I tried to edit my /etc/yaboot.conf, and add append="video=ofonly".
but it does not work dual display.
