The Rage 128 M3 ? (There are a bunch of different chips called "Rage")
So far, nothing is implemented by Owen's hack for M3s.
According to lspci, it is an ATI Rage Mobility M3 AGP 2x (rev 02)
(prog-if 00 [VGA])
00:10.0 VGA compatible controller:
Subsystem: ATI Technologies Inc Rage Mobility M3 AGP 2x
Flags: bus master, stepping, 66Mhz, medium devsel, latency 255,
IRQ 48
Memory at 94000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=64M]
I/O ports at 802400 [size=256]
Memory at 90000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]
Expansion ROM at 90020000 [disabled] [size=128K]
Capabilities: [50] AGP version 2.0
Capabilities: [5c] Power Management version 2
The documentation of the device (and the software under MacOS X) declare
it has 8Mo vram.
That's the more I can say about the graphic card. :o)
For mirroring, I also has tried m3mirror.
The results are as following (three possibilities).
* If I plug the external screen before booting (with no argument to the
kernel), I can see the yaboot console menu on the crt and the lcd. Then,
the crt becomes black during processes are launched. Then I launch
m3mirror by hand. The virtual consoles looks ok on both screens. But the
graphical interface (X11) resolution doesn't on the external screen. And
it seems impossible to fit.
* If I (still) plug before booting, but with kernel arguments in the
yaboot configuration file, the non-graphic yaboot menu appears good on
the internal lcd _and_ on the externel screen. Both screens render a
good way during lauching processes. When Gnome ask the password, the lcd
show the usual frontend while external screen look just like xwindow
with no (gnome or kde) environement.
* Third possibilities, I "hotplug" the external screen. So I first start
the computer. After x window had started, I plug the crt and enter the "
m3mirror lcd:0 crt:1 " command : the result is better (the size looks
good) but it is wavy (the audience of such a display will turn sick)
;-) The "waves" affect the virtual consoles _and_ the graphic mode (but
on the external screen only). Changing frequency of the screen (by
editing XF86 and re-lauching x, or with xvidtune) just change the
portion of the cloned screen... but the waves remain (their size change
with the configuration).
Lukas Hey (who contacts me this afternoon - thanks) appears to have
better results with the same card, and a comparable XF86 configuration.
So I don't know where my problem can come from.
I join my XF config file, just in case.
If you have any idea, don't hesitate to post it.
Thank you for the help
Christophe
