(NV) EE: Cannot read bios (5)
I have an apple Powermac G4 with Nvidia GeForce2 MMX 400 running last
benh-kernel 2.4.20 rsync.
When I make:
>XFree86 -configure
appears a list of the avaible drivers and the following error (as far
as I can remember):
(NV) EE: Cannot read bios (5)
or something similar the number 5 is ok, and it says that it is unable
to read the bios or similar.
Because I tried to install the Nvidia official drivers, I can't do this
again, and I don't know how to uninstall and reinstall again XFree86
without uninstalling XDM, GDM or KDM, in order to recover the original
files of XFree. Dselect starts showing dependence problems and asks
about removing everything.
The XF86Config-4 file doesn't works ok, and doesn't has the Modes in
screen section configured. Mouse input device isn't ok. Screen appears
pink with darker horizontal lines.
Thanks for your help. I can sense the graphic enviroment...
PD: Can anyone tell Nvidia corp about making some sources and rpms for
Debian-ppc linux and all ppc-distributions??? I don't know how.
