Yes, if you log in via the console and then edit yaboot.conf to contain
the appropriate kernel options, then it boots just fine to a functioning
desktop.

Where you have this:

	image=/boot/vmlinux
		label=Linux
		read-only
		initrd=/boot/initrd.img
		append="quiet splash"

modify last line to something like this

		append="quiet splash video=radeonfb:1280x854-32@60"

but using the appropriate values for your system.  Then run ybin to set
the changes.

However, messing with yaboot using either method is not something
reasonable to expect of people installing.
