Yeah well, me again. Seems I'm the only one having trouble with PPC these |
2 |
days. |
3 |
|
4 |
I got Xorg 7.1, fluxbox, and KDE installed. After creating an xorg.conf with |
5 |
Xorgautoconfig I quickly realized I indeed had the problem hinted at re: VGA |
6 |
BIOS. So I ~ppc64 keyworded xf86-video-ati and emerged version 6.6.3 which |
7 |
applies the patch that was also hinted at. The results are identical however. |
8 |
X starts and is running, as is fluxbox, but there is nothing on my screen. |
9 |
The only difference is that this time the power LED on my montor goes out |
10 |
when I start X, whereas before it stayed on. |
11 |
|
12 |
Also, there is a difference in Xorg.0.log: X now seems to think that I have a |
13 |
second CRT monitor attached!? |

(II) RADEON(0): Primary: |
16 |
Monitor -- TMDS |
17 |
Connector -- DVI-D |
18 |
DAC Type -- TVDAC/ExtDAC |
19 |
TMDS Type -- Internal |
20 |
DDC Type -- DVI_DDC |
21 |
(II) RADEON(0): Secondary: |
22 |
Monitor -- CRT |
23 |
Connector -- VGA |
24 |
DAC Type -- Primary |
25 |
TMDS Type -- External |
26 |
DDC Type -- VGA_DDC |
27 |
|

I have tried with the default xorg.conf that was generated, and I tried all |
29 |
manner of tweaks that I gleamed from gentoo-wiki, "man xorg.conf", and "man |
30 |
radeon". I have tried commenting and uncommenting individual "Options" from |
31 |
xorg.conf but the result is always the same. |
32 |
|
33 |
I have tried dropping down to 16 bit color depth and down to 1600x1024 |
34 |
resolution, with no joy. |
35 |
|
36 |
Can anyone even confirm that they have gotten an 23" cinema display and a |
37 |
radeon 9600 to work with Xorg? I would _really_ love to see your xorg.conf if |
38 |
you have. |
39 |
|
40 |
I don't know what else to say. There are no errors in my log (though there are |
41 |
some warnings). If you want/need further information just let me know... |
42 |
|
43 |
I have posted the log and my current conf file in my webspace: |

mesa-6.5-r3 |

xf86-video-ati-6.6.3 |

|
51 |
PowerMac G5 2x 2.0GHz |
52 |
Ati Radeon 9600 |
53 |
23" Apple Cinema Display |
54 |
|
55 |
I would appreciate any ideas. |
