I installed woody on a powerbook/G3 laptop (now booting ;) and the next thing I'd really like to have working is X.
The funny thing is that X starts and xterms run, but I don't see anything.
Switching back to a text console and then to vc7 (where X lives) gives the
funny effect that the cursor gets disabled but I keep seeing the text from
the vc I thought I left.
I'm using
ii xserver-xfree8 4.1.0-16 the XFree86 X server
configured is the FBdev device hopefully talking to the FBdev driver in the
kernel.
What I keep seeing on the console (does not show up in dmesg or the X log
though) is:
ioctl FBIOPUTCMAP: Function not implemented
Which I see as a slight hint.. but what to do ?
(logfile and configfile available, but I didn't want to flood those right
away)
lspci gives:
00:11.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc 3D Rage LT-G 215LG
(rev 80) (prog-if 00 [VGA])
Flags: bus master, stepping, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 24
Memory at 82000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable)
I/O ports at 0400 [disabled]

Changing to the ati driver with usefbdev true gives less result..
