Hi, I want to use the external video output of my Powerbook G3 Pismo but I can't get it working.
First I tried m3mirror but this tool does nothing at first. The external video has no signal. After rebooting with connected external monitor the monitor got a signal but only during the short boot period. After my framebuffer console appeared, it was dark again. Trying m3mirror again the external monitor got a signal but showed only three text lines on white ground. The test is not very informative. It looks like messages from a very early boot stage. This is the only reaction I got from the external monitor. I can switch the display now with m3mirror but it shows neither the text console nor the X Screen, only this three lines. I tried to force Xfree86 (4.3.0) to use the external video output. I set the Option "Display" to "Mirror" but the videodriver (r128) told me that it will ignore this option because the framebuffer knows about the right display device. I don't know what to do next. I searched the internet but found only hints and tutorials for the Radeon cards but non for the Rage128. Can anybody out there help me? Matthias
