Hello,
How does one get Linux to recognize an Apple 17" LCD Studio Display?
My Debian 2.2 installation, which boots fine on a Cube with a VGA
monitor, never displays anything on the Studio Display - the boot
process continues as normal, but the screen is black.

Adding "video=aty128fb:1280x1024-8@60" to the kernel arguments, as
suggested on SuSE's site, doesn't work.

Thanks.
