Sorry for the new thread about this; there don't seem to have been any messages to the old one since I joined the mailing list so ...
I've got a G4 iBook 800 MHz 12.1" TFT screen (ATI Mobility Radeon 9200 graphics card) which I am trying to install woody on (I'd rather not go for sid if it can at all be helped). I followed Colin Leroy's instructions on getting X built from CVS (including rebuilding the radeon.o module). I also downloaded the g4-ibook-radeonfb-m9.diff mentioned on www.difficulties.de/ibook/ and applied that patch to the 2.4.23-pre5-ben0 (or wherever the hyphens should be!) kernel that I wished to install. Since applying the patch I have nasty flickering in console mode which I didn't have before. X (as before) fails to start on boot; xf86cfg didn't run before I applied the patch but now appears to start up as a horizontal bar across the middle of the screen necessitating a reboot (this may be because I can't switch between virtual consoles using alt-f2 etc. -- any fixes for this known of?). All in all I'm feeling pretty despondent -- I've been trying to get this beastie installed for a week now (not the best week to pick, I admit!) and I feel like I'm getting nowhere fast, so all help gratefully received ...
