Hi,

somehow i have problems getting X to work on an external display
connected to my powerbook. Instead of an X display i get a white screen
with:

... ok
copying OF device tree...done
Initializing fake screen: ATY,RageM3p12A
Calling quiesce ...
returning 0x01400000 from prom_init


My configuration is:

- first generation powerbook 400 (with rage 128)

- kernel from benh-rsync: 2.4.20-ben8

- XFree86 Version 4.1.0.1

relevant parts of XF86Config-4:

Section "Device"
        Identifier      "ATI Rage 128 M3 (Mobility)"
        Screen          0
        Driver          "fbdev"
#       Driver          "r128"
         BusID          "PCI:0:16:0"
         Option         "UseFBDev"                      "true"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
        Identifier      "Apple PowerBook G4"
        HorizSync       30-100
        VertRefresh     50-160
        Option          "DPMS"
        Modeline "1152x768" 64.995 1152 1213 1349 1472  768 771 777 806 -HSync
-VSync
        Modeline "800x600" 64.995   800  820  840  869  699 610 620 630 -HSync
-VSync
EndSection

Section "Screen"
        Identifier      "PowerBook"
        Device          "ATI Rage 128 M3 (Mobility)"
        Monitor         "Apple PowerBook G4"
        DefaultDepth    16
        SubSection "Display"
                Depth           16
                Modes           "1152x768" "1024x768" "640x480"
        EndSubSection
EndSection

I tried both the driver r128 an driver fbdev in the device-section. Both
work with the internal display, but for the external it makes no
difference.

m3mirror-output:
ATI Rage M3 mirror tool, v0.1
Mirror is currently: lcd: on, crt: on


What am i missing?
If i succeed to show an X-Screen on the external display, is it usable?
I read in the archives that it is "woobly". The screen I the
text-display is perfectly clear.

Any help is appreciated.
