I know this has been discussed, recently. I read this thread: http://lists.debian.org/debian-powerpc/2004/debian-powerpc-200401/msg00111.html
but I now I am thouroughly confused, and I can't get anything working. I have a working accelerated XFree86 under 2.4 using a modified version of this : http://www.cattlegrid.net/~christophe/titanium/XF86Config-4 I changed the Modelines for my older titanium which has a resolution of 1152x768. My ATI chipset declares itself to be an ATI Rage Mobility M3 AGP I have tried modifiying this config (from recent thread) for my resolution: http://bobcat.edgewall.com/~jonas/powerbook/XF86Config-4 I have tried kernel 2.4 and 2.6.0-test11, with framebuffers and without, with radeonfb complied in, loaded as a module, not loaded, I can't figure out the combination I need to get this to work. I have tried only with the xserver-xfree86-dri-trunk package. Below is a bit of a compliation of the types of errors I am getting, as soon as someone points me in the right direction, perhaps the errors will be more meaningful, Thanks in advance, -- Marco *************************** all tests presented here: kernel 2.6 new config both devices Driver "radeon" no radeonfb kernel module *************************** XFree86 Version 4.3.99.12 (DRI trunk) Release Date: 10 September 2003 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0, Release 6.6 Build Operating System: Linux 2.6.0-test11-benh ppc [ELF] Current Operating System: Linux machina 2.6.0-test11 #8 Sun Jan 11 08:35:06 EST 2004 ppc Build Date: 04 December 2003 <snip...> (II) Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules-dri-trunk/extensions/libGLcore.a Skipping "/usr/X11R6/lib/modules-dri-trunk/extensions/libGLcore.a:m_debug_clip.o": No symbols found Skipping "/usr/X11R6/lib/modules-dri-trunk/extensions/libGLcore.a:m_debug_norm.o": No symbols found Skipping "/usr/X11R6/lib/modules-dri-trunk/extensions/libGLcore.a:m_debug_xform.o": No symbols found <snip...> (II) ATI: ATI driver (version 6.5.3) for chipset: ati (II) R128: Driver for ATI Rage 128 chipsets: <snip...> (II) RADEON: Driver for ATI Radeon chipsets: ATI Radeon QD (AGP), <snip...> (II) Primary Device is: PCI 00:10:0 (EE) No devices detected.
