Hi,
I'm setting up a powerMac 9600/350 (currently 128Mb ram but should jump
to 512 soon) with 2 HD (2Gb MacOS / 9Go Debian woody)
install method was:
get Ramdisk.image.tgz vmlinux from potato
boot with BootX
minimal NFS potato install
edited /etc/apt/sources.list to point to woody
apt-get dist-upgrade.
I was unable to install woody directly, it always fail when looking at
Release or basedebs.tgz
runs 2.4.18-pre7-ben0 from this morning rsync.
currently everything runs fine, except X
dmesg gives me the following (selected parts)
MacOS display is /bandit/IMS,tt128mb8A
Using unsupported 1024x768 IMS,tt128mb8A at 92000020, depth=32,
pitch=4096
Console: switching to colour frame buffer device 128x48
fb0: Open Firmware frame buffer device on /bandit/IMS,tt128mb8A
lspci shows me the following
zig:~ > lspci -v

03)

Memory at 92000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=16M]
Expansion ROM at 90000000 [disabled] [size=64K]
I have configured /etc/X/XF86Config-4 this way
Section "Device"
Identifier "hummm"
Driver "ati"
BusID "PCI:1:15:0"
Option "UseFBDev"
EndSection
BUT cause ther's always a but. ;-))
startx faill and complains this way (taken from /var/log/XFree86.0.log)
(EE) No devices detected.
Fatal server error:
no screens found
on other hand /var/log/XFree86.0.log shows me the following
(--) PCI: (1:15:0) IMS TwinTurbo 128 rev 1, Mem @ 0x92000000/24, BIOS @
0x90000000/16
the card was probed on the expected BusID.
I must tell , that I'm going crazy, and have a big headache trying
to figure out where's the problem
Thank's in advance for any help/input/tip ;-))
Eric
PS I can put on a web page the full XFree86.0.log, XFXF86Config-4 and
output that could help.
