Xorg 7.0.0 failing on powermac G3
I am not subscribed to this list, please always CC me. X worked on this machine until I added an ethernet card. Seems X wants to use the I/O ports for the ethernet card and not for the ATI card. I don't have the Xorg log for when it worked. Apparently, it does not matter which type of ethernet card I used (Both a 3com 3x905 and a mac 100 enet card (tulip chip) have the same result). In the lspci list below, there are 2 ethernet cards. The PCNet was not installed with the 3com and still has the same error. Seems the problem occurs with a card installed in the top slot. I tried specifying the IO base and trying with UseFBDev true and false. I then tried moving the mac enet card to the middle slot (removing the pcnet card). X this time didn't complain as it shows below but locked the system hard. This is what is shown on the console when I attempt to start X. # X _XSERVTransSocketOpenCOTSServer: Unable to open socket for inet6 _XSERVTransOpen: transport open failed for inet6/narf:0 _XSERVTransMakeAllCOTSServerListeners: failed to open listener for inet6 X Window System Version 7.0.0 Release Date: 21 December 2005 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0, Release 7.0 Build Operating System:Linux 2.6.8-powerpc-smp ppc Current Operating System: Linux narf 2.6.17 #4 Tue Sep 19 20:32:37 EDT 2006 ppc Build Date: 16 March 2006 Before reporting problems, check http://wiki.x.org to make sure that you have the latest version.

Sorry for the long delay. I have not touched the mac until today.

I believe that's the same NIC I have, but I tried 3 different chips with the same result.

I have not tried this, however, adding another video card was not an option. I needed more than 1 10/100 nic and the usb card.

The onboard nic works fine with the other cards installed. Not sure about with an addon video card. > no usb here, but i wonder why you did not speak > of trying to move/remove that card ?? Because that card did not make a difference.

If you have the same thing I have, then it probably will break.

If this USR is a sportster, that is an init string that you need to give it or you will run into problems like this.

If you could remember the init string or tell > me where to look it up, I would be eternally grateful. Here is the string I used on a 56k sportster at work: AT&F&C1&D2S11=50&B1 I believe &B1 is the part that makes it work for me. S11=50 makes the modem dial as fast as it can. You may not want this especially if your phone co can't handle it. You should verify the commands with the manual before blindly using the one I gave you. -- Lab tests show that use of micro$oft causes cancer in lab animals Got Gas??? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

USR modems have some non-standard commands.

Yes, I had this with a radeon 9200 on a PC and a 1600x1200 LCD connected via DVI (Did not occur with VGA). I had to tell xorg to ignore edid and I modified each mode line's dot clock to the absolute lowest it would go (down to 2 decimal places). I still had flickering at 1600x1200. I've since replaced it with a Fire GL X1 card and the flicker is completely gone. It seems to be the fact there's not enough bandwidth on a single link DVI cable. I didn't have a dual link to test with so I'm not sure if that helps or not.

They just drive the monitor at 50hz instead of 60hz. I only replaced my video card for one that was better and it had the added benefit of no flicker (with the same configuration as the older one) > How did you tell xorg to ignore "edid" ? man radeon and look for "EDID". I'm not sure what video chip is in your mac but the option should work for other drivers. The options go in the section where the video card is defined. You can also use xvidtune to show you your current modeline that you would place in the monitor section of the xorg.conf. There is a warning, but if all you're going to do is have it show that information, it won't do any damage. You'll probably have to run that from the terminal since it shows the modeline on the screen. It shows this for mine at 1600x1200: "1600x1200" 135.00 1600 1664 1856 2160 1200 1201 1204 1250 If want to lower the hz from 60 to 50, you'll have to lower the 2nd number (this is the dot clock) until its as low as it'll go. It probably took me 10 minutes per resolution that I use to get all at 50hz. -- Lab tests show that use of micro$oft causes cancer in lab animals Got Gas??? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I also added: You probably can't go lower. That's the dot clock.

Option "DisplayPriority" "HIGH" Option "MergedFB" "false" Those are the only other 2 options I have in my config file. It may also just be your video card.
