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 0x01400000 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:

Screen 0
Driver "fbdev"
# Driver "r128"

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.
