I don't think anyone ever said that the bluberry's had to run Xpmac. I know I posted a XF86Config-4 for the ibook here several times. It was tested under 8.0 but there's no reason it wouldn't work for 8.2. > This is what I know... when installing it insists that I am running a >powerbook(display) with a Rage Mobility M... or R.. can't recall... but I am running >an iBook(display) with a Rage Mobility L... when I change those settings I lose X >alltogether.. bummer... the best I have been able to do is leave the defaults and >tweak the freqs but at best I still have serious chopping and streaks ... bigger >bummer ;o) There is no way for the installer to know what display you are running. And as far as things go the PowerBook display goes. I seem to recall Stew saying that the PowerBook display was the correct display to use for the iBook's. Not sure about the video card. But all the Rage Mobility cards should be using the same driver as far as I know. So it shouldn't really know. At any rate you can find the XF86Config-4 that I was using on the iBook here: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=mandrake-cooker-ppc&m=101237734113932&w=2 -- Ben Reser <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://ben.reser.org What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans, and the homeless, whether the mad destruction is wrought under the name of totalitarianism or the holy name of liberty and democracy? - Ghandi
