Well the X server just does not start, or messes up the screen, depending on the refresh values I have entered. Basically it gives me the error message that you analysed earlier. Nothing more, but it does prevent my running kmines ;-) Thanks, Laurent -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

In fact by tweaking these values I am now able to use the ati driver under my 2.2 kernel. What puzzles me now is that I am not changing anything in the config (which I got mostly through dpkg-reconfigure) and what works with 2.2 kernel does not work at all with 2.4 kernel. Well in any case do you have any suggestions about sensible values for the horizontal and vertical refresh on my machine (a Lombard PowerBook - bronze keyboard) ? >-- >Earthling Michel Dänzer (MrCooper)/ Debian GNU/Linux (powerpc) developer >XFree86 and DRI project member / CS student, Free Software enthusiast > Thanks for your assistance Laurent == Laurent Steffan [EMAIL PROTECTED] eBusiness Technical Consultant == -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Re: Settings of XFConfig86-4 for PowerBook G3
Correct. After checking with Apple docs, it looks like what I have is a Lombard, with bronze keyboard. Thanks for the followup, I'll make sure to include that info in my next messages.

Re(2): Settings of XFConfig86-4 for PowerBook G3
Thanks for your suggestions, which I've tried immediately. However, lspci
does give me 17 as the slot for my graphics card, and setting 16 does not
work ("no devices detected"). Also, setting r128 as driver does not make
any difference.
