You might want to checkout if you chip has compositing support. Try 'man radeon' to get a list of supported cards.

xorg.conf powerbook g4 kde 4.2.2
Hi there Im really happy to have gotten a powerbook g4, was a PC user before. And lenny works great. No installation issues. Good work! Maybe I should add that I encryted the whole system with the installer. 1. I havent worked on getting the wireless to go. Any Links to HOWTOs are welcome. 2. Does anybody have a working xorg.conf for a powerbook g4 with ati 9700 (rv350)? I cant enable Desktop effects on kde 4.2.2 :( If I enable effects the xserver freezes and so I cant even get into the console by alt-ctrl-f1. Turning the computer off is the only solution. Direct Rendering worked out of the box, but I dont really know how to get compositing to work. I also have a problem with the colours in kde. Some blue colours like the default K-Menu-symbol is some kind of orange :) I just changed the driver to radeon in xorg.conf yet. Oh, and I set UseFBdev to false after having a problem with weird fonts in tty1 when i stopped gdm. $ cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf [snip] Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Generic Keyboard" Driver "kbd" Option "XkbRules" "xorg" Option "XkbModel" "pc105" Option "XkbLayout" "de" Option "XkbVariant""nodeadkeys" Option "XkbOptions""lv3:lwin_switch" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Configured Mouse" Driver "mouse" EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "Configured Video Device" Driver "radeon" BusID "PCI:0:16:0" Option "UseFBDev" "false" EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "Configured Monitor" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Default Screen" Monitor "Configured Monitor" EndSection 3. Is it possible to scroll or right click without an external mouse on the touchpad? Im thankful for every comment or links on this and the wireless installation. greetz drz -- gpg fp: 5518 8F74 B2A0 E91A 6FAD 8AC8 C02C 6C6F C899 DC65 Public Key: http://rizzux.org/drz.asc -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-powerpc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

But installing synaptic doesn't really pull in too much GTK libs I think. Using aptitude you can remove the suggested or recommended packages that are being installed when you install synaptic, this might pull in less packages. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-powerpc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
