The atimisc driver for Mach64 based hardware doesn't support Option "UseFBDev". > instead of the monitor staying on, it switches off, and stays off. > > > to me this is usually a sign the modelines are off, and need tweaking, Maybe just the sync ranges in the Monitor section; older Apple hardware tends to require special treatment there. > XFree86 Version 4.3.99.12 (DRI trunk) You shouldn't report problems with unofficial packages here. The documentation of my packages clearly states where to report problems; if you disagree, patches are welcome. The dri-trunk packages don't offer anything for Mach64 based hardware anyway (then again, you override the module path to the modules provided by xserver-xfree86, but seem to have overwritten the atimisc driver with one which contains DRI support? Quite a mess...). -- Earthling Michel Dänzer | Debian (powerpc), X and DRI developer Libre software enthusiast | http://svcs.affero.net/rm.php?r=daenzer
