[keybord] [X] space key problem....

[Eric Deveaud]

Hi,

here is a description of the problem

kernel 2.2.18 home made to use the new-input-layer (see the .config with
the relevant parts)
french extended USB keyboard

keyboard_sends_linux_keycodes set to 1

using the keymaps for the french keyboards here
http://www.linux-france.org/article/materiel/mac/clavier_rpm3.html>
alienated to tgz, extracted and installed by hand.


whille loading the keymap everything is OK under console.


under X using Xpmac
that display the following message at startup

Xpmac / X Window System (X11R6.3)

OKAY I got a french keyboard quite useable
except
1) arrows are unusable
leftproduce 4 + beep
up  8 + beep
down2 + beep
rigth   6 + beep

2) pressing space once, gives me a repetition of spaces until I press an
other key, like if space is sticky

3) ctrl-command-fn did'nt allow me to switch back to the console


oops. there's something wrong
did I do something wrong ??

thank's for any advice.

Eric

ps and oh an other thing, while working under the console
   both caps-lock and num-lock sends hid.c: ctrl urb status -32 received

[Eric Deveaud]

Hello,

I get the following error
Sorry the following packages have unmet dependencies:
  netscape: Depends: communicator but it is not going to be installed or
 navigator but it is not going to be installed
E: Sorry, broken packages

but when loocking at the 2 mirror I use (either

I see on the non-free/binary-powerpc/web/
the netscape 4.6 and 4.7 packages. communicator packages are also here.

debian2.2r2 on powerbook G4

[Eric Deveaud]

Hi,

I'm trying to install debian on a powerbook G4 (titanium).

as the cd is non bootable, I grab the linux kernel and ramdisk.image.gz
from /potato/main/disks-powerpc/2.2.19-2000-12-03/powermac/

to a mac partition of the disk, wich contains yaboot yaboot.conf (edited
and modified)

booting under OF to yaboot is OK, yaboot start to load the kernel, but
everything stops with the following message.

opening display /[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ATY,[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ATY,rageM3p12B_

somebody knows how to boot this machine.

should I compile a new kernel on my pismo, and try with this new one ??

any advice ??

Thank's

Eric

I should have said as the cd is non bootable on this particular
machine...

sure the cd is bootable, I succesfully install a pismo, an iMac, a G3
with this CD.

it seem's that 2.4.x boots the Titanium, I'll continue this morning.

> I think you are better off getting the CD to boot and building the kernel on

unfortumatly i wasn't able to boot this powerbook from the cd even while
holding the 'C' key at startup (which is the `secret key combo' to boot
from the CD since a while on PowerMacs) nor using yaboot.

I've compiled the 2.4.2 on an iMac, and I'll grab it to the Titanium
into a few minutes

sure the hardware is different, the most inportant is to use the good

yep.

unfortunatly the offical 2.2r2 cd is non bootable on the TiG4.
use a 2.2.18 kernel to boot the TiG4 and perform installation as usual.

minor problems.

report install debian on powerbook G4

[Eric Deveaud]

Hello,

as promise just a few words explainig how I install debian 2.2r2 on a
powerbook G4

this is a short resume on how to install Debian and MacOs on a
Titanium powerbook G4

first note that the kernel 2.2.18pre21 on the debian install CD, dosn't
allow to boot the Ti

1) boot on the MacOS CD, use the Apple Hard disk tools to
create the partition scheme you want on the drive drive
eg: X Go for linux (free-space)
X Go for the MacOS system (HFS+)
X Go for the MacOS apps  (HFS+)
X Go for the docs (HFS+)
X Mo/Go for a sharing MacOS <-> Linux partition (HFS)

2) install MacOS

3) grab a linux kernel 2.2.18, ramdisk, yaboot, yaboot.conf on the
   shared partition


4) get the SystemDisk tool from apple
   ftp://ftp.apple.com/developer/macosxserver/utilities/>
   with this one note the number of the partition or the shared
   partition eg: XX

5) edit the yaboot.conf
eg:
init-message = "\nDebian PPC\nhit  for boot options\n\n"
timeout = 50
default = install

image=hd:XX,vmlinux-2.2.18
label=install
initrd=hd:XX,ramdisk.image.gz
initrd-size=8192
append="video=ofonly"

6) reboot the Mac under OF (command-option-o-f)
   at boot-prompt type
boot hd:XX,yaboot

7) the debian installer is launched
   install debian as usual on the free-space partition previously
   created
   DON'T forget to create a Apple_Bootstrap partition of small size, in
   first place see http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/> mac-fdisk
   section
   note the /dev/hdaNN number of the Apple_Bootstrap partition
   note the /dev/hdaYY number of your / partition
   eg if you do the way described here, it should be /dev/hda11
   (/dev/hda1 to 9 are Mac drivers and /dev/hda10 your bootstrap
   partition)
   initialise swap
   format the linux partitions
   mount a previously initialized partition, the shared one.
   install base
   configure drivers
   configure base
   DON'T do "disk bootable" instead go to the console, copy the
   linux-kernel-2.2.18 to your /boot partition, name it vmlinux-2.2.18

8) reboot the computer under MacOS
   depending on the number of linux partition you've created, the
   previous XX  number of the shared partition has changed, use
   SystemDisk again to get the new one, eg now it's ZZ

9) edit once again the yaboot.conf: modify the old XX to ZZ
   and insert a linux boot section as following
init-message = "\nDebian PPC\nhit  for boot options\n\n"
timeout = 50
default = debian

image=hd:ZZ,vmlinux-2.2.18
label=install
initrd=hd:ZZ,ramdisk.image.gz
initrd-size=8192
append="video=ofonly"

image=hd:YY,/boot/vmlinux-2.2.18
label=debian
root=/dev/hdaYY
append="video=ofonly"

10) reboot under OF once again, at boot prompt
boot hd:ZZ, yaboot

11) this time the installed linux boot up
- answer the question
- set up /etc/apt/sources.list
- install what you want, I strongly suggest man first ;-))
- set up the /etc/yaboot.conf
  eg:
# bootstrap partition
boot=/dev/hdaNN
device=hd:
delay=20
timeout=20

# the OF menu to use
magicboot=/usr/lib/yaboot/ofboot
# the booter to use
install=/usr/lib/yaboot/yaboot

# enable boot form cdrom
enablecdboot

# default OS, linux of course
defaultos=linux

# linux boot options.
default=debian

image=hd:YY,/boot/vmlinux-2.2.18
label=debian
root=/dev/hdaYY
append="video=ofonly"

12) run mkofboot on /dev/hdaNN --filesystem hfs
that's all folks, dual boot Linux/MacOS is set
you just have to install what you want: X, compile a fitted kernel
for this machine, and so on ;-))

just a note, as I've read on list, eth drivers for the eth card of the
TiG4 are not so good.

cause it's the easiest way to find the partition number, to use in OF,

instead of that I boot again under OF, and at boot prompt I use
hd:YY,/boot/vmlinux-2.2.18 root=/dev/hdaYY
setup apt, perform the minimal installation, setup yaboot.conf
and run mkofbot at this momment

this is not a sokution, just a tip, just remember that you can use the
ascii code to type a letter.
for example. q = command 113. for thet you have to type the ascii value
on the numerical keyboard, while pressing the command(apple) key.

it saves me some times, while installing debian on various Mac, whith
azerty  keyboards

the french keymap is a little broken.

for a `working one' see
http://www.linux-france.org/article/materiel/mac/#clavier>

for the missing q just remember that you can use the ascii key-codes
q=option-1-1-3 (the number must be typed on the numeric keypad)

Xfree86-4.0.3 - iMac revA

[Eric Deveaud]

I've just installed woody on an old Imac (one of the first one)

just to ask about something strange

whith the following Device section in XF86Config-4
Section "Device"
Identifier  "Card0"
Driver  "ati"
BusID   "PCI:0:18:0"
EndSection

X starts correctly, BUT (yes there's a but) all the text is displayed in
a `kind of mirror' mode, ie all letter are reversed.
eg: I try to represent it
   __   __
|\  | |__|   |  /| |__|
| \ | | \ -> | / |  / |
|  \| |  \   |/  | /  |


while using the following Device section everything is OK
Section "Device"
Identifier  "Card0"
Driver  "fbdev"
Option  "UseFBDev"
EndSection

what I did wrong ??

benh kernel 2.4.6 + gpm

[Eric Deveaud]

Hi,

I just finished to rsync and compile benh kernel for my pismo(thank's
ben for your work) and I notice a problem wille using gpm, with my usb external 
3
buttons mouse
as I spend a lot of time in console mode, I eavily use gpm.
with 2.2.19 everything is OK
with benh kernel, when I mouse select  something, all caracters turns as
strange hierogliphs.
and paste gives the same hierogliphs.

furthermore, a single left click on the screen gives me a nice caracter
representing a smilly face.

what happens, I need 2.4.6 for sleep support and airport support

here is my /etc/gpm.conf

device=/dev/input/mice

oops sory about the confusion, I have'nt seen that trackpad_tool is a
program.

As I'm new dealing with kernel, I was afraid, thinking it was something
realy specific.

I've put it in /usr/local/bin as most of the stuff I install.

Hi not sure is the best solution but it works fine for me (potato on
pismo)

first
take a look at /etc/inittab, to see your default runlevel.
usually with debian, runlevel is 2
# The default runlevel.
id:2:initdefault:

second 
as root create the following script on /etc/init.d/trackpad_no_tap

#! /bin/sh
/the/full/path/to/your/trackpad_tool notap

third
as root chmod 755 the script
 
fourth 
as root
ln -s /etc/rc2.d/trackpad_no_tap /etc/rcN.d/trackpad_no_tap
where N is your default runlevel

when is done, each time you will boot your powerbook, the track-pad
tapping will be disabled

Eric

PS
I do this way, cause it allows me to centralize all my stuff in init.d
after that playing with links I can play as I want
any advice is welcome

date problem on pismo

[Eric Deveaud]

Hello,

I'm in trouble with my date settings on powerbook G3 firewire
(pismo) running debian potato, and MacOs 9.04 

currently my date in losing time everydays.
I loose 1 hour evry 4 days. (anoying for compilation an other
things...)

I don't have any idea from where the problem  commes.
Is this a known problem, and how I can solve-it.

I would like to find a solution, whithout using a ntp server.

thanks in advance.
I'm sure I would enjoy 24h15 per days, but not my computer


note.
1) I have disabled all the time's stuff on MacOs. => no change, the date
still losing time
2) deleting /etc/adjtime before setting the date, gives me a litle delay,
before date loose time

Thanks for this quick anwser, but I owuld like to deal whithout
ntp. I'm not always plugged on the network when I work with my pismo.Scm99
but I'll put up this stuff, as I use my mac at work, with a local network,
and a ntp server

thanks again

it's related to the trackpad default setting, tapping on the trackpad is
set to be a doublke-click, annoying
you can fix this usig the trackpad_tol program, it's a tinny program, that
allow you to set the behavior of the trackpad.  

take a look at

I read few months ago a tip, posted on comp.os.linux.powerpc by Rob
Minerick to make the external monitor workin on Pismo.
You need XFree86 4.0

Have'nt tested it, but here is the solution

enjoy

From: Rob Minerick <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Newsgroups: comp.os.linux.powerpc
Subject: External video on a Pismo solution...

I've come up with a solution that should work for many of those people
out there with Pismo's trying to use external video. I should mention
that it only allows you to use the external video by itself, it doesn't
allow you to use both together. It also requires that you have an
external keyboard (I believe, although I have not gone too far into this
because it doesn't matter to me). Anyway, it should still be of use to
those of you who would like to use your Powerbook as a desktop while at
home. Anyway, here's how I got it too work (This assumes you have
properly install XFree86 4.0):

1. Boot into MacOS with the lid closed.
2. Select the resolution you wish to use your Powerbook in when in
Linux.
3. Add this to your yaboot.conf file

image = hd:11,vmlinux   << or whatever your kernel location is
label = External
append = "video=ofonly"

4. Boot into linux, using the "External" configuration described above.
5. Pull up a root shell and add this to your /etc/X11/XF86Config file:

Section "Monitor"
Identifier  "G810"  << whatever you wish to call this
VendorName  "Viewsonic" << monitor vendor name
ModelName   "Graphics 810"  << monitor model name
HorizSync   30-97   << check your monitor specs
VertRefresh 50-170  << check your monitor specs
EndSection

Section "Device"
Option  "UseFBDev"
Identifier  "Ext"   << whatever you wish to call this
Driver  "fbdev"
BusID   `   "PCI:0:16:0"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
Identifier  "Screen1"   << whatever you wish to call this
Device  "Ext"   << the identifier you used in "Device"
Monitor "G810"  << the identifier you used in "Monitor"
DefaultDepth8   << I've only had success using 8-bit
SubSection  "Display"
Depth   8
Modes   "1280x1024" << the resolution you chose in MacOS
EndSubSection
EndSection

6. I assume you'll probably want to use an external USB mouse as well,
in which case you need to add:

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier  "Mouse1"
Driver  "mouse"
Option  "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option  "Device" "/dev/usbmouse"
EndSection

7. Finally, at the beginning of the XF86Config file there should be a
section labeled "ServerLayout". You should change this to reflect your
new values. For example, with the above configuration you'll have
something that looks like this:

Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier  "XFree86 Configured"
Screen 0 "Screen1" 0 0
InputDevice "Mouse1" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection

8. Save the file and try it out.

Let me know your experiences with this. I've not tried this on any of
the RedHat derived distributions, only on Debian, but hopefully it'll
work for all of those. It's an iterim solution while those people who
work so hard supporting PowerPC Linux development get us accelerated
external video on our Pismos. If anyone has any questions/problems
getting this to work, feel free to contact me via email...

emulation of mouse buttons depends on wich Xserver your using.
in Xpmac-rev10 you should emulate the buttons with the following options
-middlekey key_code
-rightkey key_code
 
for example my Xpmac options looks like
local /usr/bin/X11/Xpmac.rev10 -mode 17 -depth 24 -middlekey 111 -rightkey
119 

that I have middle button mapped with F11 and righ button mapped with F12
on a pismo powerbook 


and sotty I don't now yet how to done the same with Xfree86-fbdev nor
Xfre86-4.*.

I've got the same problem, and I use xmodmap to correct this.
under X (only X) my backspace was acting as ^d not as ^h.
using xev I check the keycode generated by the bacspace, (in my case it
was keycode 59)
after that putting this lines in the .xsession correct the problem
xmodmap - << EOT
keycode 59 = BackSpace
EOT


NB I've not seen xev for the powerPC, I was using it from my PC debian
Box to check the keycode from the powerbook.

thanks for the answer

I was asking this because I notice that with 3.1.6 the ctrl-A produce an 
^A and ctrl-E produce an ^E, not really what I was expecting... 
furthermore, I was unable to delete something on the command line except
the end of the line...

I guess it's due to something wrong with my config, but reverting to
3.0.7 correct the problem.

I didn't consider this as a "useful and stable enough shell"

Eric

NB i fyou want/need some particulars details about my config, I'll be
happy to answer you.

You can dl Xpmac.rev10 from the suse ftp server
ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/powerpc/xpmac/>

just decompress the archive, it's the binary (don't know where to find
Xpmac sources)
drop it in /usr/bin/X11 (or somewhere else)
chmod 755 the binary

modify your /etc/X11/Xserver to use Xpmac

Why did you want a precompiled kernel.
It's not really hard to do it by yourself.

new G4, radeon9000 support

[Eric Deveaud]

Hi,

my boss told me that christmas is comming now, I can order a new bi G4.
with a 17' ADC flat panel

I think I will order the following:
biG4  1.25GHz
1Gb   SDRAM
2 UltraSCSI 72 Gb
ATI Radeon 9000
SCSI card


I want to now about the Xfree support of the radeon9000 (I don't want
a nvidia card)
As far as I understood the Xfree documentation, the radeon familly is
supported. am I correct, or should I order an other card

Thanks for any hint

humm just a stupid question, why to put to deep sleep a linux desktop
machine.
I assume it should be up and runnig 24/24 7/7 no ?
what about cron, waht about long works, what about eth going down, etc

just a screen sleep, would be enough no ??

bye the way if you correctly followed the yaboot-howto eg you've made a

yes because I've played with starttup panel from MacOSX, this will

ieee1394 some problems.

[Eric Deveaud]

Hi,
for the little introduction story.

I'm trying to validate the use of an external firewire harddrive, for
one of our scientist here in pasteur.

I ask me if it could plug and use his external 30Gb Lacie firewire
drive on his PB-G4 under linux.

I've tell him, let me try on my PB-G3 before formating your powerbook.


Know the problem.

I've grabed the last Ben's Kernel sources, compiled the fresh kernel
building ieee1394, ohci1394, sbp2 (and related i2c bit-padding
interface) as modules.
installed everything, rebooted

everything went OK
yoko:~ > uname -a

plugged the disk

added ohci1394
and ther is what I got

message

Humm I guess I miss something but while RTFMing I did see what

what's the buggy point in my howto understanding ??

pluggin the device while the machine is not booted and trying to load
the module is the way I'm working, this means the order you suggest is

Yes as the firewire disk are maped as scsi drive I include the SCSI
support either as modules either compiled in the kernel, but in both
case I have no luck with the Lacie disk.

bi-G4 1.25Ghz

[Eric Deveaud]

Hi,

Santa-claus comes today with this new machine.
I've asked him to add a SCSI card and a 73Gb SCSI disk, in order to put
linux.

the SCSI card is an adaptec 29160N

whille trying to boot on the debian-30r0-powerpc-binary-1, bad luck,
neither the ata100 drive, neither the SCSI disk are seen.

as far as I've understood my google search, I have to switch the
drive from the ata100 to the ata66 bus in order to be able to use it
under linux. This is the easy part.

and for the adaptec card support, I have to compile a fresh kernel >
2.4.7

is there an iso of an install disk including such a kernel with the
29160 driver ?

if not I'll build a kernel on my pismo, an boot from disk as I
will perform a network install.

In this case I would like to know which is the magic incantation
to boot from the internal IDE drive. More exactly the way to find the
device name under OF.

I've done this long time ago while installing my pismo, but I don't
remember the "vaudou" OF incantation.

thank's

no problem, as I'll plan to use the IDE drive to store some huge flat
files, it is not crucial for me to plug the disk on the ATA66 bus
instead of the ATA100

that was my meaning, as I've done for the pismo, when it was in the

there's a more easy way to perform the installation.
copy the kernel yaboot, yaboot.conf and  ramdisk on an HFS partition of
your IDE drive.

eg for yaboot.conf
   init-message = "what you want\n"
   timeout = 50
   default = install

   # replace NUM with the correct value.
   image=hd:NUM,vmliux
   label=install
   initrd=hd:NUM,ramdisk.image.gz
   initrd-size=8192A


boot the machine under OF, and boot the linux installation using
boot hd:NUM,\yaboot

I've installed the computer using the Debian 3.0 CD set.

is not compiled in the kernel)

after setting up the minimum (ssh, rsync, compil tools) and rsync'ed
the benh tree I'm trying to give this machine the ability to see is
second cpu.

OK I see the 2 penguins, great my 2 cpu are seen.
but but, the problem is that all my tryings^Wefforts are ending with the
following boot time error

as the machine don't have any floppy, I disabled evrything regarding

for the serial I just have CONFIG_SERIAL=m

and yes CONFIG_PPC_RTC is OK.

any more things I can check ?

Your Kernel config shows that you are using sungem, for eth.

I'm experimenting problems with the couple sungem/dhcp. I suspect the
client, but I haven't looked too much, setting eth to static solve the
problem.
just my poor contribution.

I haven't tested yet the client, cause I'm diving in the joy of setting
X with the radeon9000 ;-(

currently I'm hapy enough with the static ip, even if it's not
what I wanted, but it works. ;-))

I'll give a look to pump, I added it to my todo list for the machine
set-up.

XFree86 4.2.99.2 / radeon 9000

[Eric Deveaud]

Hi,

I'm trying to set up X with a radeon 9000 with a 17'' Apple flat pannel
plugged on ADC

my kernel is a fresh 2.4.20-pre11-ben0 from Tue Oct 29 with
# CONFIG_FB_RADEON is not set
CONFIG_AGP=y
CONFIG_DRM=y
CONFIG_DRM_RADEON=y

I've got the X sources by CVS-ing it from xfree86.org
build was OK, but now I figthing with the configuration.

as far as I see on the logs, X starts, detect the card, load the good
driver (ati and sub module "radeon") that claims to support radeon
9000 but all I get is a black screen and the flat panel power
ligth flash 3 times , I have to kill X by ctrl-alt-del
but the problem, is that this black-screen remains even after killing X
I have to blind type or ssh to the machine or reboot in order to
continue ;-(

the logs reports no errors, just warnings about APM, DRI (DRI will be
the next step) and clomplians about radeon vbios.
(WW) RADEON(0): Video BIOS not detected, using default PLL parameters!

has anybody succeded on setting X with this combination radeon9000/17''
flat panel.

not reaaly an answer, but just some new insigth on the problem

kernel inclusion of CONFIG_FB_RADEON results  on lost signal
with the flat panel plugged on ADC

but with the same settings, an iiyama CRT plugged on the DVI via a
DVI/VGA adaptator shows the console and X is working OK.

it seems, that the problem is related to the ADC port.

not an answer just a story.
I ve done the same thing than you on my dual boot machine, wipped
MacOS9, to put Jaguar.
Jaguar Instalation was smoth an easy. but after reboting I was
surprised by the fact that MacOS X boot directly, I have losed the OF
chooser.

I was thinking about a pram modification done by MacOS X.

And yes MacOSX wipped the OF boot-device and so on (as printenv shows me
under OF)

Reseted the pram with the magic key combo (option-command-p-r at boot
chime) but the problem remains. I finaly found by booting on a debian
install disk and switching to the shell, that my partition scheme was
"altered".

When I installed linux, I've reordered my parition in order to have the
Apple_Bootstrap in position 2 (it was physicaly the 9th).
MacOS X instalation put it back on position 9.

just using the mac-fdisk r, to restore the partition order, and
running ybin command restored the things

no I guess that you don't have the rigths to writte to /mac.
what is the output of ls -ld /mac ??

I use an fstab entry to mount the hfs shared partition between MacOS-X
and debian. this allow the group 110 members to read-writte on this
partition.
# the mac-linux sharing space
/dev/hda17  /machfs rw,gid=110,user,noauto0 0

we just use mount /mac and umount /mac. (as we just use it from time to

see some news group related to Apple hardware, and you will find lots of

I also use (dualboot) MacOSX from times to times, on my pismo with 384MB
ram, and I can tell it works. but it still slower than linux on the same box.

you don't need to install over and over, remember linux is neither MacOS
neither windows, ther's always a solution.

boot on the installer CD, and go to the console (either "execute a
shell" installer entry, either by pressing option arrow.)

console2 gives you a minimalistic but usefull shell.

mount your partition fix your settings, and voila ;-)

You don't do anything wrong, no it's not a bug, it's a feature ;-))
the kernel used on yhe installer CD does not support ATA100.
you have to move your disk on the ATA66 bus bus, and everything will go
smoothly.

note that the new BenH kernel branch supports the ATA 100 bus, and you
can plug a disk to the ATA 100 bus abd use it (35/45 Mb/sec)

but BenH recommend to not use the disk for important datas (as the whole
system is)

 Is there a linux driver for it somewhere?

regarding the generation of your tiBook, the modem is
either a "standard" modem hooked on /dev/ttyS0 and stock
 driver should do the job
either a "usb modem" and yoou should use the mar Bouchier driver

[OT] please answer under the previous post it's easier to read and
 netiquette compliant

you should boot under OF (press option-commande-o-f at boot chime)

your disk is located under ultra2

you should use the following command
boot ultra2:#,yaboot

where # is the number of your Apple_Bootstrap partition

alternatively, you can boot on the install CD, execute a shell,
mount the partitions and chroot to /target in order to fix your
settings.

yes it sound's a little confusing.
while checking the yaboot.conf man page, you will find that you  can
specify the ofboot and device using the "real" OF path for those
variables.

I use the following (you should adjust to your settings)

boot=/dev/hda2

well bad news ;-(

using fresh benh rsync-ed kernel, using fresh installed dri-trunk and
fresh compiled readeon.o from drm-trunk.

using a CRT monitor plugged on DVI port X startx OK and I get the
display and fvwm shows-up

using the 17' Apple flat monitor hooked on the ADC connector, it always
ends with a black screen (I guess "signall lost" as the flashing power
ligth on the flat panel means)

the only things /var/log/XFree86.0.log reports is

No.
But shame on me, I have to confess that I'm stupid.
Apparently the problems comes from bad HorizSync an VertRefresh values.
just putting something correct solve the problem.

As I was experimenting some problems with the radeonfb driver, before
BenH solve the problem, I was mind blinded, and was thinking of a radeon
related problem.

I have now X displaying correctly on the flat pannel.

either switch the disk on the ATA66 bus, and follow the xavier's

either compile a new benh kernel, and use this one to install woody.
on an hfs patition of your disk, copy the new 'home made' kernel,

edit yaboot.conf to feet your need, (eg use the new kernel, and so on)

boot on a MacOS install CD, partition your hard-disk in at list 3
pieces.
1 for MacOSX
1 for MacOS 9
1 left as free space for linux

install MacOS 9
install MacOS X

after this 2 stages, everithing should be OK
install linux, reading the doc here
http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/powerpc/install>
set-up yaboot using the Xavier's tips according to your partition
scheme.

in case something went wrong or in case you wippee the PRAM, the boot
process on the Mac is to check the partition in ordered way, to find one
partition wich is bootable.
if your Apple_Bootstrap, with yaboot and ofboot script is present in
position 2 you're sure that the machine will boot on this one. this
eliminate some magic and vaudou open firmware incantation.

is it possible to use an Apple_Bootstrap partition in any position, but
it's easier to hold it on position 2 (or at least as the first one
behind all the crappy mac-os9 patch/driver partition)

correct me if I'm wrong (long time that my 9600 died) but
if your booting via BootX, (as some of the material initialisation is
performed by MacOS before linux boots up) you also have to play with
resolutions modes on MacOS side, check under linux, and so on until you
find a correct MacOS setting which will be compatible with  Xfree

just that pmac_config is a make target

you can issue make pmac_config, wich will produce a default configured
powermac compiled kernel.

yes
edit arch/ppc/platforms/pmac_feature.c
goto line 53
add the following line
extern int powersave_lowspeed;

for me. this allows the compilation

MacOS/MaxOSX/Debian install order

[Eric Deveaud]

I'm on the way to give install a new machine.

I want it to hold debian and (MacOS / MaxOSX). It seems to me that I

could someone remaind me the "rigth way"

did I have to install MacOSX first and debian after, or debian and after
MacOSX

Thank's
