X on external VGA
Hi, somehow i have problems getting X to work on an external display connected to my powerbook. Instead of an X display i get a white screen with: ... ok copying OF device tree...done Initializing fake screen: ATY,RageM3p12A Calling quiesce ... returning 0x0140 from prom_init My configuration is: - first generation powerbook 400 (with rage 128) - kernel from benh-rsync: 2.4.20-ben8 - XFree86 Version 4.1.0.1 relevant parts of XF86Config-4: Section "Device" Identifier "ATI Rage 128 M3 (Mobility)" Screen 0 Driver "fbdev" # Driver "r128" BusID "PCI:0:16:0" Option "UseFBDev" "true" EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "Apple PowerBook G4" HorizSync 30-100 VertRefresh 50-160 Option "DPMS" Modeline "1152x768" 64.995 1152 1213 1349 1472 768 771 777 806 -HSync -VSync Modeline "800x600" 64.995 800 820 840 869 699 610 620 630 -HSync -VSync EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "PowerBook" Device "ATI Rage 128 M3 (Mobility)" Monitor "Apple PowerBook G4" DefaultDepth16 SubSection "Display" Depth 16 Modes "1152x768" "1024x768" "640x480" EndSubSection EndSection I tried both the driver r128 an driver fbdev in the device-section. Both work with the internal display, but for the external it makes no difference. m3mirror-output: ATI Rage M3 mirror tool, v0.1 Mirror is currently: lcd: on, crt: on What am i missing? If i succeed to show an X-Screen on the external display, is it usable? I read in the archives that it is "woobly". The screen I the text-display is perfectly clear. Any help is appreciated.

Just to make this clear: I meant first generation TiBook 400.

Well, i tried. It's not really a solution. If i disable fbdev either
via XF86Config-4 or with the boot-option video=aty128fb:off, X
terminates with
Symbol fbdevHWGetLineLength from module
/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/r128_drv.o is unresolved!
Symbol fbdevHWGetLineLength from module
/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/r128_drv.o is unresolved!
How do i have to configure X to work without framebuffer?
Still wondering,

Thanks for the answer. Unfortunately the accentuation was meant on "work". Uncommenting UseFBDev just brings the mentioned errors when starting X: Symbol fbdevHWGetLineLength from module /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/r128_drv.o is unresolved!

Xinerama is not a package but an Xserver extension. Search the archive
from this list, there are some examples how to set up your x-server to
use xinerama.

As someone already mentioned, the package eject provides a command-line
solution.
Under gnome acme is a nice way to bind eject to the appropriate key.

The following posting contains an example for a working xinerama-configuration: http://lists.debian.org/debian-powerpc/2002/debian-powerpc-200207/msg00174.html I hope this helps. Matthias Kloas P.S.: If multi-head would be working on the Rage128 i'd love to construct further examples. ;-) signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

Since it's not really finished I know there are still some bugs and furthermore it's focused on the powerbook-keyboard, so there might be some missing definitions needed on larger keyboards. If you want to, I can send you the files by private mail. Matthias -- Dr.-Ing. M. Kloas planungsteam energie + bauen Ingenieurgesellschaft mbH pgpUaSbyFVWQl.pgp Description: PGP signature
