RE: Settings of XFConfig86-4 for PowerBook G3
the BusID PCI:00:17:00 option is wrong.

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.

I have seen several references to OFfb in the mailing lists, and I read the Framebuffer document in the Doc section, but that didn't help me. cat /proc/fb (II) ATI(0): Not using default mode 640x350 (hsync out of range) [...] (II) ATI(0): Not using default mode 1400x1050 (bad mode clock/ interlace/doublescan) (II) ATI(0): Not using built-in mode Native panel mode (vrefresh out of range) (WW) ATI(0): Mode pool is empty This is the problem, looks like the ranges in the monitor section are too restrictive. I figured something along that line, yes. 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. How does it fail? There can be complications with Mach64 chips related to resource ranges, when booting with BootX I think, unfortunately I don't remember the details. 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) ? The ranges the panel supports. ;) As they're probably not known though, a rule of thumb for a flat panel is VertRefresh around 60 Hz, say 55-65, and then HorizSync such that the native resolution works. -- Earthling Michel Dänzer (MrCooper)/ Debian GNU/Linux (powerpc) developer XFree86 and DRI project member / CS student, Free Software enthusiast -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
