Hi all,
Anybody have a quick step guide to working with Altivec under
Debian for PPC? Any .debs (doubt it)?
I'm trying to make use of vlc's Altivec-accelerated IDCT (which so far
is only meant for MacOS X and doesn't work), so I obviously need an
Altivec-enabled toolchain.
I've had a look at alt

I got the default framebuffer server included with debian to run by changing
the default color depth. If I recall correctly I had to turn it up to 16 or
more.

Hi,
i have given up on configuring XFree86 4.1 for my Radeon. I downloaded
the drivers posted by Ani Joshi. They work except that i cannot switch
from graphical interface to text console.
So i was curious if anyone knew if there are fixes out yet, or what i
would have to do to fix the problem.

Hmm, the framebuffer server will not start. He always fails with the Error:

The Frame Buffer Device could not work correctly on a Powerbook 1400. That's
not possible because it uses a special graphic chip whic

Hi,
I have installed Potato on a IBM RS/6000 B50.
I've upgraded to kernel 2.4.8, and am able to boot the system from
floppy.
It just won't boot from hd.
My partitions are like this:

/dev/sda2 /boot 8M
/dev/sda3 / 2G
/dev/sda5 swap

Has anyone successfully run XFree86 4.1 on a TiBook with accelerated
ATI support, or better yet, DRI support, rather than using the
framebuffer?
All I have been able to do is crash the X server... Of course, the
framebuffer drivers a quite snappy, but something in me desires to use

Yes. Look in the archives for the thread "gpm & X settings for titanium".

I believe this is fixed in later versions of b-f.
In case anyone cares, I got PCMCIA working on my tibook. I changed

I try it with install CD from potato. The kernel don't accept the

Hi,
gpm sucks. I can't start it. Every time it gave me an segmentation
fault. The same with mc, jed, w3m and so on. Only if I deinstalled gpm
the error go away. But the aplication too. :-(
Where can I find information about the Mouse Device? Dmesg give me the
following output:

I just started from the example file in /usr/doc/frambuffers_dir... and changed
the color depth. I believe that you must specify "default" as the mode. I
can't send you my config without coping it by hand, unless someone could write
PCMCIA drivers or make PPP work :)

Hardware: PowerBook G3 (Wall Street)
Distribution: pure 'testing'
Version: 4.1.0-2

Installing the new xserver-xfree86 4.1.0-2 from unstable causes an

So. I have figured out that I can't read HFS+ partitions, does anyone
think it's a good idea to create a large HFS partition for mp3's, oggs,
etc?
I currently am using an NFS server on the lan, but that doesn't help when
your on the road.
Cheers.

Also, make sure to press the 'fn' key after you press 'Control-Alt'
(but while still holding them down), and then your F? key.
Holding down the 'fn' key before hitting the Control or Alt keys, will
result in a different key code... Usually not the right one for a
console switch.

I tried that. I made a nice large NFS partition. I am not happy with
it. The filesystem has to many limitations (others are better
qualified to list these). My problem was that HFS paths have to be
rather short... I am not sure the exact number of characters; not
enough for reasonably named ogg's
