iBook2 screen resolutions

2002-10-29 Thread Mark Williams
Howdy, On iBook2s, what screen resolutions are supported under Linux? I've only been able to get 1024x768 to work, specifically in X. It'd be nice to get tuxracer running... Thanks, Mark

Newest dri-trunk X packages and sleep on iBook2

Mysterious drive access and battery life

Hello all, I am the proud owner of a 700 MHz 12.1" iBook2. Debian sid is working perfectly on it (with sleep and dri and everything!) and running faster than MacOS X. Go figure. There's just one problem. After changing my setup in accordance with the information on http://bulmal

2D acceleration on M6

2003-01-02 Thread Mark Williams
Hello, My iBook2's Radeon M6 handles 3D acceleration perfectly (thanks, Mr. Dänzer!), but not 2D. I'm curious if there's something I can fiddle with in XF86Config-4 to try and coax 2D acceleration out of my machine -- it'd make mozilla-xft much faster! Thanks for your time, Mark

ALSA Strangeness

Hello all, Recently, I set up ALSA on my iBook using the debian packages and make-kpkg. I managed to get everything set up in accordance with Mij's page this time (ie, make-kpkg modules worked), which is nice. However, I can't adjust the volume; it's always very, very low. Also, alsamix

epiphany-browser and mozilla-snapshot?

a-snapshot-browser), this certainly seems to be the case. Are anti-aliased webpages in a packaged GNOME browser really just a pipe dream? mozilla-xft is something I'd like to avoid, as I don't think XRENDER support exists for my 700MHz iBook's M7. Cheers, Mark Williams

our mail, however, I found that top(1) agreed with you. Both certainly seem to acheive anti-aliased text with the same CPU usage spike. And I suppose that it'd be hard to get that far without some XRENDER support, too. In any event, I'm sticking to epiphany-browser now, as it seems
