OK the story is continuing....
the context
PowerMac 9600
video card IMS Twin Turbo (IMS,tt128mb8A)
booted with BootX
kernel 2.4.18-pre7-ben0 with CONFIG_FB_IMSTT=y
booted with BootX
1) when giving extra kernel argument video=imsttfb
with or without "force video setting"
the machine boots fine, but after the few first kernels messages
the screen goes black.... I don't see any kernel boot messages, I have
to type blinkly.. or ssh the machine in order to reboot
I have to boot with video=ofonly in order to get the console screen.
2) setting XF86Config-4 to use
Driver "imstt"
VideoRam 8192 # the 9600/350 comes with 8Mb on card
and startx gives me something like uper half screen with a kind of
display the other (lower half) black.
furthermore, the upper half part is cutted in 2 parts (left rigth)
something like that
+---------+---------+
| | |
useable quarter | | | like mirrored of the "useable
| | | quarter"
+---------+---------+
| |
| Black |
| |
+---------+---------+
furthermore /var/log/XFree86.log tells me the following
(--) imstt(0): probed videoram = 3072k
Thank' for any advice.
