Hi,
I`m using a 7200/90 with a platinum video adaptor 1mb.
Debian woody is used with a 2.2.20-pmac kernel and 4.x.x Xserver
The platinum framebuffer work very fine in 800x600.
I haven`t been able to use a resolution of 800x600 with X. The
xf86config-4 as been properly configured but the server fall back to the
original platinum framebuffer résolution 640x480 16 bits. A line say "can`t use
mode vt7" before the Xserver goes on in 640x480.
I`ve tried to change the résolution while booting but it seem i don`t
know how to do it.
at bootX ---> video=platinum:vmode:800x600-60
The XFBdev doc. are not very spécific about the platinum.
The kernel doc. is very general too.
Can i use a pc ati mach64 in a powermac? I gess not, because of the pci
bus speed diff. (33/45Mhz) and the bios of the card...
