Hi list. I've been playing with this for a few days now but only really got somewhere near working today.
I currently have a stable booting (via yaboot in the bootsector) 2.4.21benh kernel and a 2.6.0-test11-benh kernel (built from rsync today). I compiled up XFree86 4.3.1 from the stable tarballs at xfree86.org without many problems but from what I've read in other posts, it sounds like this will only work with a 2.6 kernel. Is that correct? Anyway. 2.6.0-test11 is booting up ok now but the framebuffer is a little odd. I can't quite describe the problem but it involves what I can only describe as black scanlines appearing and making the framebuffer flicker. 2.4.21benh has no such issues. I was just wondering if anyone else was using the same setup out there and how far they had gotten. I intend to document what I have for the benefit of others. So if anyone has XFree86Configs or kernel .configs etc that they think may be of use (specifically for the 17inch powerbook with superdrive, ATA 100, ATI Radeon 9600 (I think) etc. best of luck. And thanks to all those in active PPC development, keep up the excelent work. Diolch -- Dan Field <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.nuclear-dawn.com/ - Drunk on the Lawn in a Nuclear Dawn
