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!!
Cheers
Andreas
PS: I would like to thank Olivier for his private email-support! He is until
now the only person who supported me.
Hi all!
Welcome to Cooker-PPC.
I´m very frustrated because:
I have installed Mandrake 9.1 and the benh-kernel-rpm from MandrakePPC
9.1 CD´s. After reboot I got an Xserver running but with flickering
stripes all over the screen.
Until now I have read many articles in the mailinglist and tried much
that configurations i.e. viedeo=ofonly but nothing worked.
Is anybody out there with the same iBook who solved this problem?
Andreas and I had a couple of private email exchanges before he got its
subscription to cooker-ppc working. We have exactly the same laptop
except the video card.
- I have a radeon M6 LY which is pefectly working with 2.4.20-benh (from
the CDs) as well as the testing 2.4.21-benh from MDK Club.
- his card is a radeon M7 and any benh previously mentioned kernel can't
get it properly working (even with my XF86Config-4).
So the problem obviously comes from the M7 revision.
Danny reported success with the video=radeonfb kernel option:
