What version of ppc-sources were you using? I had problems with pmud with |
| 7 |
ppc-sources 2.4.19-r4 and -r5 but -r6 seemed to fix most of my problems. |

Soooo many things to check... |

1) I am assuming you're using the same kernel config for both the ppc-sources |
| 16 |
and benh kernels but if you aren't, check to make sure that you have the |
| 17 |
correct settings for DRI in "Character Devices" (make menuconfig). |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
2) Benh's kernels also seem to vary in quality from release to release and |
| 20 |
changing to a new version might help. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
3) In the ppc-sources ChangeLog, I see that in -r3(and possibly others), ati.2 |
| 23 |
DRM drivers are used, this might be cause of some your problems with the benh |
| 24 |
kernels because (correct me if I'm wrong) they do not include the ati.2 |
| 25 |
driver. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
4) Check your XF86Config-4 and yaboot.conf, maybe some missing vmodes are |
| 28 |
causing you problems. |
