ppc installation issues...
Hi, Here are some of the issues that I faced while installing and upgrading debian on my iBook G4: (if I am writing to the wrong list, please let me know) $ cat /proc/cpu processor : 0 cpu : 7447A, altivec supported clock : 1199.999000MHz revision: 0.2 (pvr 8003 0102) bogomips: 73.47 timebase: 18432000 platform: PowerMac machine : PowerBook6,5 motherboard : PowerBook6,5 MacRISC3 Power Macintosh detected as : 287 (iBook G4) pmac flags : 001b L2 cache: 512K unified pmac-generation : NewWorld 1. KDE as a desktop while installing Etch - there is no option to install KDE as the desktop manger, instead of Gnome. Surprisingly, at the tasksel stage of the installation process (even in expert) mode there is no mention that the Desktop environment is actually GNOME and only GNOME!! Note that, I have tried the netinst, xfce-cd-1, and kde-cd-1 discs from this page: http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/4.0_r1/powerpc/iso-cd/ and each of these installs Gnome (xfce does xfce though). More agonisingly, even after adding task=standar, laptop, kde-desktop at the boot prompt of the installer I end with a GNOME!! Why? What is the purpose of *-kde-cd-1.iso? Why is there no simple option to choose between Gnome/KDE at the tasksel stage? OK, so even after repeated formats and installations, I end up with a Gnome DM - fine, I'll change to kde later 2. I upgraded to unstable, using dist-upgrade, and the locale is screwed To be fair to the Debian folks, I was surprised and impressed to find that almost everything else worked fine, if not better, after the dist-upgrade. Anyway as of now, apt-get cmd gives the a combination of the following two error: perl warning: Please check that your locale settings LANGUAGE = (unset), LC_ALL = (unset), LANG = en_US are installed on your system ==AND== locale:cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: no such file or directory locale:cannot set LC_MESSAGES to default locale: no such file or directory locale:cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: no such file or directory As expected the locales package is broken... Is this the situation, or is it because of my dist-upgrade? What is the fix? -- Regards PK -- http://counter.li.org #402424 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I became a bit more adventurous and tried out the experimental ati
driver... Hotplugging a VGA monitor seems to work (on my iBook G4 -
powerbook 6,5) exactly as hotplugging should, that is without any
xrandr --output --DVI-0 --auto command - wow that is just insanely
cool The low contrast issue that I had mentioned in my earlier
mail, is almost solved now, I can see the light colors fine - but it
is still not pleasing...

What I know is, that with xrandr 1.2 hotplugging a 2nd monitor to a

seems to do hotplugging on 2.6.22-3 that i got from unstable and
xserver-xorg-video-ati 1:6.7.196-1 from experimental. I am not sure if
the kernel plays any role at all...
The kernel doesn't matter for this. With xserver-xorg-video-ati 6.7.19x
(so far only available in experimental), external displays with a VGA
connector should work with all Radeon {Power,i}Books. Displays with a
DVI connector can be trickier; depending on the PowerBook model and
driver version, Option MacModel powerbook or powerbook-duallink
may help for those.
For the iBook, I am using Option MacModel ibook ...
Note that hotplugging a monitor per se isn't expected to have any direct
effect; something like
xrandr --output DVI-0 --auto
I don't actually need to do this, but if I do (note for my case: the
output is VGA-0 instead of DVI-0: xrandr --output VGA-0 --auto), I
get a higer resolution (1280x1024) external monitor display; where my
iBook's LCD is 1024x768 max. This projects the iBook's LCD screen to
the 1024x768 block on the upper-left corner of the 1280x1024 external
monitor - resulting in empty-but-accessable strips on the right and
bottoom edge of the external monitor. How do I get back to 1024x768
resolution on the external display?
This is what it obviously does:
