However, according to xfree.org, both chipset are supported. I know Xpmac is more or less obsolete, but also stable, right ??? Quiet frankly i think the prob comes from XFree versus video card. I had even the help of one of my sons, which is system administrator on UNIX machines, he uses courantly mdk over some coreen PC and he give up. Remember, in order to tune the XF86Config file i did a complete re- install of the older ydl 2.1 in order to copy the working modelines... The thing really strange to me is in that when i launch under XFree (after at least one KDE launch under Xpmac) i'm able to hear the KDE jingle, and even to restart cleanly (no fsck to do...) Here i should mention i had a seg fault under fsck when trying to reboot --> complete re-install. I think i'll found a solution for XFree when i'll be no more in search of a solution, accidentaly... >What are the machines you have? A ppc 9500 oldworld. -- Yvon Thoraval
Xpmac and french keyboard
I"m following the : Swiss-German keyboard layout for LinuxPPC <http://www.lka.ch/linux/ de_CH-kbd/> giving this advise for Xpmac : - -- File: /usr/X11/bin/startx Explanation:This is the script that starts X windows; the original needs to be modified to use the non-US configuration files. Do this only if you use Xpmac! Xfree86 uses /etc/X11/XF86Config => 4a Change the line that starts with "Xinit" to read: Changes: Xinit $clientargs -- /usr/bin/X11/X -kbdtype "de_CH(extended)" $serverargs - -- I've found startx in /usr/X11R6/bin with no line starting with Xinit however this is at the beinning : userclientrc=$HOME/.xinitrc userserverrc=$HOME/.xserverrc sysclientrc=/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc sysserverrc=/etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc defaultclientargs="" defaultserverargs="" clientargs="" serverargs="" may i add th full path of my french keyboard (/usr/lib/X11/xkb/keymap/ macintosh/fr_new) as clientargs giving : clientargs="/usr/lib/X11/xkb/keymap/macintosh/fr_new" also, apart from that point, their is no xserverrc in /etc/X11/xinit is that only due to the use of Xpmac ? -- Yvon Thoraval

XF86Config screen sections modes
firstevall, i have to say, i've chosen Xpmac as X server. Don't exactly what does that means. I suppose this another layer into XFree, a layer more or less between XFree and the video cards (reason for frame buffer). i've choosen that because i saw mdk-cooker ppc install was using that, and also, it is the only, for the time being, to get X running. All the attempt i've made with XFree resulted into a black screen... (same does apply to YDL 2.2 but not to YDL 2.1 the differences being kernel 2.4 vs 2.2 a XFree version 4.x vs 3.3 respectivelky). because Xpmac is slower than XFree i'd like to switch to XFree without reinstalling the whole mdk-cooker. * in that situation, does i have to install something which has not been installed because of the choosen Xpmac ? * we did a strace when lauching X, the log shows 5 errors : lseek(5, 9864, SEEK_SET)= 9864 read(5, "Couldn\'t allocate picture (%d*%d"..., 1880) = 1880 lseek(5, 20540, SEEK_SET) = 20540 read(5, "BDF Error on line %d: \0\0BDF Warn"..., 384) = 384 lseek(5, 28116, SEEK_SET) = 28116 read(5, "Error: Couldn\'t allocate ink_met"..., 48) = 48 lseek(5, 72676, SEEK_SET) = 72676 read(5, "PCF Error: \0pcfReadTOC(): Couldn"..., 852) = 852 lseek(5, 91712, SEEK_SET) = 91712 read(5, "SNF Error: \0snfReadProps(): Coul"..., 328) = 328 are they warnings only or unrecoverable errors ? * also, something strange to me is in that, when i used XFdrake i've choosen a "1024x768" display but the result from XFdrake shows "800x600" or "640x480" modes : Subsection "Display" Depth 15 Modes "800x600" "640x480" ViewPort0 0 EndSubsection Subsection "Display" Depth 16 Modes "800x600" "640x480" ViewPort0 0 EndSubsection * because their is no Generic vga in XFdrake popup, i've choosen an iBook display, that's to say one of the 1024x768 i've seen, i suppose i'll have to re-work the video timings of the modelines. One of my screens is a vesa compatible (nothing also for vesa in the XFdrake popup) being a Formac ProNitron 17/300, any idea of a screen more closer to this one and being in the XFdrake popup ? (i think this formac Pronitron is more or les equivalent to some of those sony 17") -- Yvon Thoraval
XF86Config Keyboard section
here is the config made by XFdrake : Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Keyboard1" Driver "Keyboard" Option "AutoRepeat" "250 30" Option "XkbRules" "xfree86" Option "XkbModel" "pc105" Option "XkbLayout" "macintosh/fr_new" EndSection should i put something else,, as Xkbdmodel, instead of the given "pc105" for a macintosh adb extended keyboard. the keymaps are in the file fr_new in the subfolder macintosh, is it right to give the Xkbdlayout that way : "macintosh/fr_new" ? fortunately, thanks to KDE, i do have a somehow "french" keyboard more or less working, it is of "pc105" type (chosen with KDE control center) but within gdm i have another keyboard-layout, where is the file to change that. for the time being the only right keyboard map is on the console without X. it seems to me that, using KDE, i got three type of kbdlayout : console gdm (or using blackbox, iceWM...) KDE is it possible to have the same keyboard layout for all of that ? -- Yvon Thoraval
XF86Config pointer section
i have a kensington two buttons mouse using adb, for the time being, the mouse section of XF86Config looks : Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse1" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol""PS/2" Option "Device" "/dev/usbmouse" Option "Emulate3Buttons" Option "Emulate3Timeout""50" # ChordMiddle is an option for some 3-button Logitech mice #Option "ChordMiddle" EndSection this looks strange to me because i don't have any usb serial port rather an adb one. how sould i change those line for my mouse ? -- Yvon Thoraval

Where can I choose this >mac53c94 ? the choice is given when the install is searching for the CDRom. on my ppc 9500, where i do have to CDRom drive attached one over the internal scsi bus (mesh) the other on the external (mac53c94), the CDRom for install being in the first one, i had first to choose mesh without any argument, mac53c94 being done afterwards automatically... -- Yvon Thoraval
[ppc 9500]
i did a complete successfull re-install of the mandrake 8.2 distro, howver at reboot, i don't get X. the file /var/log/XFree86.0.log gives an error : Open APM failed (/dev/apm_bios) (No such device) i thought bios was related to i386 or the like ??? after that, their is a search over the PCI bus without any message speaking about video card nor video screen. what can i do in such a situation ? -- Yvon Thoraval
[ppc 9500] black screen when startx
now i'm able to login (under run level 3) however i got a black screen after startx. either with or without ckecking force video driver and no video driver i didn't pass any argument related to that. my default graphic card is an ATI one : ATI, XCLAIM VR Pro -- Yvon Thoraval

[ppc 9500] kernel panic on reboot after install
i got to the xconfig which hangs up at the end. This let me choose xinerama, detect successfully the two video cards but let me select only one screen. i've force to reboot, getting a kernel panic when eth0 up, a second reboot under "run level 1" but get another kernel panic when typing the root pas... i should mention i saw in the memory dump following kernel panic some area about ALTIVEC ??? (probably a default only prob) i'm using 2.4.18 kernel but don't know where to leave the relative initrd ??? i leave onto the Linux Kernels folder but i don't know how to specify this file to BootX, is it as ramdisk ? -- Yvon Thoraval
