This device is not that different than the 2005 1.25ghz, the main difference is the GPU being a ATI 9600 (ATY,Apollo_A). I'm not expecting to get 3d acceleration, just resolution options.

Following the precedent and @ELN's excellent work, I looked for a NDRV pef from the previous OS X variants to parcel into the open firmware tree. The earliest is 10.3.8, and this appears to work! The machine boots up in full resolution, colors look better, etc.

The second the finder is about to launch, the screen turns gray. Cursor appears to keep working fine.

If I boot with extensions off, everything seems to go perfectly (but of course I can't use most stuff). I tried disabling all of the ATI extensions but that didn't help. Any tips or ideas? I can keep bisecting the extensions I guess, but wondering if there were other ideas...I assume getting all the way to finder load might be a good sign.

The ROM I am using is attached, added a .txt extension to avoid the filter, can just remove it and it's hqx.
