Are you sure that helps? On the procject web page is documented that
this is for ATI Radeon based systems. Mine is a ATI Rage.
In the meanwhile I have cleared the disc and I'm installing Gentoo
Linux. This seems to have great Mac support. Even booting should be
easy with yaboot. If I'm not satisfied with Gentoo I can return and
try this sysctl setting.
Are there more well-known issues a newbie has to consider?
