No, it isn't. Try debian-powerpc instead. The debian-68k list is for computers based on Motorola's 68k processor family. Apple hasn't made a 68k based computer in about 10 years. I've cc:'ed debian-powerpc on this. Remember to take debian-68k out of the list on any further discussion. > Yesterday, I got a new PowerBook G4 with OSX. > > Today, my new MAC PowerBook G4 is running both Debian Stable and Mac OS X. > > However, XFree86 is not working. > > When I run 'XFree86 -configure' as I do on my Intel machines, I get a > bunch [569 lines] of nasty unresolved errors like this: > > Symbol vgaHWGetIndex from modules > /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/vga_drv.o is unresolved! > > I was thinking that this might be related to the kernel, so I recompiled Nope. These days XFree86 has it's own modules that have nothing to do with kernel modules. The modules for X are in /usr/X11R6/lib/modules, while kernel modules will be in /lib/modules. This specific error isn't fatal, since you shouldn't be using the VGA hardware driver on a Mac. It's intended for PC style video cards. You don't need all the modules to work to have the main server to run fine. I'm not sure if 'XFree86 -configure' is supported on ppc. Someone else will have to answer that one. > the kernel.

I'm not sure if this is really a fatal error. It wasn't in older kernels, but things have changed recently... > Question: > -------------- > Any idea what I module I am missing for my kernel ?

Based on the symbol names, it's expecting to treat the card like an ISA card, but there isn't a real ISA implementation on a Macintosh. If you don't need it, take it out of the configuration. > # > # PCMCIA SCSI adapter support > # > CONFIG_SCSI_PCMCIA=y > CONFIG_PCMCIA_AHA152X=m > CONFIG_PCMCIA_FDOMAIN=m ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ This is the one giving you the problem. > CONFIG_PCMCIA_NINJA_SCSI=m > CONFIG_PCMCIA_QLOGIC=m
