Hello Debian PPC community,
I'm new to this list and I confess that the reason for subscribing are
two questions regarding my shiny little Debian Linux on my fairly new
ibook2. I googled a bit to solve them but as usual I found too much info
to the wrong issues. So I decided to ask here. I'm sure these problems
are well known, please give me a short hint, where to search for more
information. If you need any more info about hard- or software please ask.
Hardware:
ibook2, G3 800, 12"
OS:
2.4.21-ben2
(from rsync 09.07.2003), compiled with standard .config (unchanged
version from rsync)
Problem 1:
I can't record anything with my soundcard. Playing is no problem. I
checked and found out that a call
open("/dev/dsp", O_RDONLY);
fails, but
open("/dev/dsp", O_WRONLY);
succeeds.
Some programs (like audacity) will therefore leave my soundcard in a bad
state: I am not able to play any sound afterwards, either.
Used sound drivers:
> lsmod
Module Size Used by Not tainted
dmasound_pmac 70640 0 (autoclean)
dmasound_core 13496 0 (autoclean) [dmasound_pmac]
soundcore 4616 3 (autoclean) [dmasound_core]
Problem 2:
I would like to drive the external VGA connector for mirroring, but I
didn't manage to enable it using m3mirror:
> ./m3mirror lcd:0 crt:1
ATI Rage M3 mirror tool, v0.1
error 1074020353 getting mirror value
From 'cat /proc/pci':
Bus 0, device 16, function 0:
VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility M7
LW (rev 0).
IRQ 48.
Master Capable. Latency=255. Min Gnt=8.
Prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0x98000000 [0x9fffffff].
I/O at 0x802400 [0x8024ff].
Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0x90000000 [0x9000ffff].
I think my videocard should be capable to drive the external VGA
connector, shouldn't it?
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance,
Heinz
