Hello |
| 2 |
I'm running a Mach64 GX card, 210888GX. Have conf'd X succesfully on at |
| 3 |
least 10 linux boxes, but this one is paticularly resistant. |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
Can anyone point me to some specifics to help set this up on a 9600 ppc? |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
Do I have to use fbdev? Is there a better alternative driver? Is there a |
| 8 |
particular kernel option I need to select? Can I change modes on the fly |
| 9 |
eventually? Must I specify kernel boot video opts? |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
An additional annoying and optional (xfree) question: Does anyone know |
| 12 |
why the OS9 (or OSX) vid driver doesn't need vert and horiz freq specs |
| 13 |
specified to work, but X does? How crucial is it to get the exact |
| 14 |
frequencies? (i have an old monitor, cant find specs on google) |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
And worse still: I've used Xeasyconf, but all it wants to enable is |
| 17 |
640x480 regardless of what additional resolutions a choose -- only one |
| 18 |
modeline shows up, for 640x480. And it defaults to 16bit, not 15 which |
| 19 |
the GX card seems to like...? |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
Does it make sense to post XF86Configs for common Macs with stock vid |
| 22 |
cards to help persons like me? (like one for the iMac revB or whatever, |
| 23 |
which I assume would be the same conf for all users), or simply include |
| 24 |
those in the (ppc) distro? |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
Can I ask 50 questions in one email? Is that annoying? ;-) |
| 27 |
|

Thanks for any and all info! |
