Well, pmud isn't clear. Actually, it should work, though I had reports of some users of this machine telling me it tends to lockup on wakeup, I'm investigating. >_ DRI : the dri module is loaded (thanks to src from http:// >www.penguinppc.org/~daenzer/). >Glxinfo reports dri is ok : >... >direct rendering: Yes >... > >But any GL app freezes X (I use Xfree4.2 from http://people.debian.org/ >~branden/) >Someone with more luck than me ? No. You have a Radeon M6 chip, the same chip I have in my rev. 2 tipb, and currently, the DRI trunk driver doesn't work on it. (I have the exact same symptoms here). Hopefully, Michel will have that fixed soon... >_ I has a problem of kernel compil : (benh-ibook-2.4.20-pre4-ben0) >A non existent symbol in the compil of sunrpc.

Didn't have that problem, weird. I'd suggest rsync'ing again, and making sure you do a complete fresh build (save your .config, make distclean, restore your .config, make oldconfig, then make dep, make and make modules) > >_ Very disturbing problem of clock syncronising between OS X and Linux, >already reported >in the mailing list. But I have not seen a solution. Help ? Yah, OS X is nasty, I'm not sure what's up exacty with it. We used to have no problem with OS 9 as OS 9 stored the date as local time in the RTC. It seems OS X is behaving differently though we didn't yet figure out how exactly yet. >If you have any information on the previous problems, thank you in advance. >If not, thank you for you reading :-)
