The framebuffer opens up beautifully. Excellent :) Always helps to ask someone who known what they're talking about > I think I should put it in /etc/inittab but where? > Does it matter?

I would have thought video=3Daty128fb:1024x768@76 in grub.conf should do it. Have a look at /usr/src/linux/Documentation/fb/aty128fb.txt for a few other options. I wouldn't mess around with inittab if you can possibly help it.
