It creates a fb1 in /dev, which is the Cineam Display on the DVI port. What is the difference between video=ofonly and video=radeonfb ? radeonfb does not create a framebufferdevice in /dev/fb1. Only fb0. Any tips ? Experiences in builing an DRI driver with X.org or with R300 codes on http://r300.sourceforge.net/R300.php are appreciated, too. I think the R300 stuff has gone into x.orgs CVS so I've not tried building it separately myself. It seemed to work fine although I couldn't get it to work with glx. Have tried the latest stable X.org now. But I can't get a proper output on the cinema display. The LCD of the Powerbook is working perfect. If Anyone out there has a working xorg.conf for the Ciname Display, please let me know (yaboot.conf, kernel config are welcome).

Odd. Unless cpufreqd would drop the CPU frequency only for a very short
period - anything in the logs about frequency switching?
I've been running cpufreqd for the last few days with full logging
enabled. the system powered off just now - I don't see anything
anomalous in /var/log/syslog (and no mention of frequency changes).
I've attached the relevant section of the log, showing everything in
syslog for the last few seconds of uptime. The last line is the system
booting (with the clock reset).
I've now disabled cpufreqd and am testing powernowd to see if I get the
same behaviour.
Subjectively, it seems like these resets happen during times of higher
system load: Fan running, disk or memory access occurring, cpu somewhat
busy.

how to install debian on imac?

Please correct me someone if I'm wrong .. debian-ppc64 web pages on alioth have absolutely no relationship in any way to what debian supports or not. The ppc64 alioth effort is a two-person effort to fork debian in order to have a pure-64 set of packages, even though benh and others have told us repeteadly that pure-64 is in general considerably slower and not-needed. Debian/sarge (stable) has support for ppc64 processors in the form of the 32bit power3/power4 kernels, and 32bit userland. Debian/etch|sid have now a biarch toolchain producing 32bit code by default and 64bit code with the -m64 code, this toolchain is now in etch, i believe, and is used to build the 2.6.12 debian official kernels (flavour powerpc64), which should go into etch this evening or pretty soon. Debian-installer has started to being adapted to 2.6.12 kernels (in fact the daily builds are now built using 2.6.12 kernels) but kernel-installer is somewhat flakey yet and needs fixing, and i think debian-cd needs adjustement to the new images, and this will be fixed at the latest during the d-i oldenbourg meeting sept 21. to 25. But you can without problem install sarge and upgrade to sid, or even use my backported udev packages together with the sid linux-image-2.6.12-powerpc64 packages. Or simply upgrade to etch/sid.
