Ok I have made some headway. Thanks to friend and the Ubuntu PowerPC wiki I have been able to get Xvid working. Here is what I had to do. At yaboot: Linux "video=radeonfb:off radeon.agpmode=-1 radeon.modeset=1 radeon.dpm=1 video=offb:off"
With that I can login and view videos with Xvid instead of x11. However I am seeing this and was wondering if it normal? rican-linux@debian-ppc:~$ LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose glxinfo name of display: :0.0 libGL: screen 0 does not appear to be DRI3 capable libGL: pci id for fd 4: 1002:4e50, driver r300 libGL: OpenDriver: trying /usr/lib/powerpc-linux-gnu/dri/tls/r300_dri.so libGL: OpenDriver: trying /usr/lib/powerpc-linux-gnu/dri/r300_dri.so libGL: Can't open configuration file /home/rican-linux/.drirc: No such file or directory. libGL: Can't open configuration file /home/rican-linux/.drirc: No such file or directory. libGL error: No matching fbConfigs or visuals found libGL error: failed to load driver: r300 libGL: OpenDriver: trying /usr/lib/powerpc-linux-gnu/dri/tls/swrast_dri.so libGL: OpenDriver: trying /usr/lib/powerpc-linux-gnu/dri/swrast_dri.so libGL: Can't open configuration file /home/rican-linux/.drirc: No such file or directory. libGL error: No matching fbConfigs or visuals found libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual or fbconfig On Tue, Nov 25, 2014 at 1:42 AM, Herminio Hernandez Jr. < herminio.hernande...@gmail.com> wrote: > I am sorry I mean you get the login screen.
