Re: iBook700 CDROM,16vram, radeon (M7) X-Problems
Ok, I capitulate!! After many instaltions with anymore configurations I think it's impossible for me to install MandrakePPC 9.1 at my fu iBook. More precisely to get the Xserver running without flickering stripes on the screen. So far I installed benh-10mdk kernel. After this I boot with "video=radeonfb" but no effect flickering stripes on the screen again. Then I used drakboot for configure yaboot. I add "video=radeonfb" in the append line but on the next reboot it takes no effect too. Everytime I look at drakboot in the append line "acpi=off" is listed. Why? Who play drakboot, DrakBoot in MandrakeControlcenter and yaboot.conf together? If I used one of this tools to add an new kernel for boot this kernel is never listet at startup. I can't select him for booting the system. Why? Is there anybody with exact the same iBook and has Xserver running? PLEASE HELP ME!!
