The Problem was:

I had to remove the spaces after boot and the =
so it reads now:
boot=/dev/hda7

strangely it was in the debian-generated default yaboot.conf with spaces.

You'll probably want to put that in the append option for
yaboot.conf, IIRC.
  
   I added that, but on reboot it still seems to be loading radeonfb:
   dmesg still gives Invalid ROM contents and Invalid ROM signature
   for radeonfb (and video is still streaky). Any other likely ways of
   disabling radeonfb?
 
  As told here you need to put it to your append section of
  yaboot.conf:
 
  append=root=/dev/hda? video=radeonfb:off
 
  and run ybin -v afterwards.
 
  To check which framebuffer you're using just read  the output of
  cat /proc/fb
 
  It should be either radeonfb or radeondrmfb ;-)

 I get this error if I do ybin -v after checking this out:

video problem on powerbook g4 in squeeze

2010-07-12 Thread drz
hi

Ive got a problem with videos in debian powerpc (squeeze uptodate) on a 
powerbook g4

video card is:
 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV350 [Mobility Radeon 9600 
M10]

symptoms:
If I watch video (no matter which player I use (mplayer and vlc)) I get a 
picture that is vertically 'distorted'. Kind of every 5 pixels 
(horizontically) the picture is moved 5 pixels (vertically)

Anybody got an idea how to fix that?

Yes it looks exactly like this, its  codec-independant and is sometimes more 
and sometimes less.
thx

 Sounds like it could be http://bugs.debian.org/587999 . Make sure the
 DRI is enabled (not only for this but also better performance in
 general).
 

DRI is enabled. or isnt it...? Are DRI and the glxinfo output about direct 
rendering two pair of shoes?

-- # glxinfo
name of display: :0.0
display: :0  screen: 0
direct rendering: Yes

But I seem to have all the symptoms of Bug 587999. thx alot.
I will try to work around it as described.

thx a lot

 Exactly same over here. :)

 picture that is vertically 'distorted'. Kind of every 5 pixels 
 (horizontically) the picture is moved 5 pixels (vertically)
 
 Anybody got an idea how to fix that?

 I was told that an option to mplayer can work against that:

mplayer -vo xv:adaptor=1 JustAMovie.mp4

 Unfortunately I haven't found how to set a specific adaptor as default,
or how to select the adaptor in other players. The output of xvinfo
seems to be related to this I was told. I attached mine for comparison.

 Hope that helps at least as workaround, but having a real fix would be
great.

 So long!

Is KMS enabled (Kernel Mode Setting)? It is enabled with the latest 
version of 2.6.32 kernel in debian testing and it causes problems both 
with accelerated openGL (which becomes HW decelerated openGL) and XV 
output (which becomes all striped around), at least with the R280 of my 
macMini. Check it by the list of inserted modules (lsmod) and to disable 
it you have to put the corresponding module in /etc/modeprob.d/blacklist


You can try anyway. For me it solve the problems but YMMV.

But it looks like the preferred solution is leaving KMS working, and
instead disabling radeonfb, which apparently interferes with kms. The
bug reports and related threads indicate that you're supposed to disable
radeonfb with this command:

video=radeonfb:off 

only problem is I don't actually know where to put that...

You'll probably want to put that in the append option for yaboot.conf,
IIRC.

I added that, but on reboot it still seems to be loading radeonfb: dmesg
still gives Invalid ROM contents and Invalid ROM signature for
radeonfb (and video is still streaky). Any other likely ways of
disabling radeonfb?
