XFree86 and Performa
Got debian running on my performa! Ya its cool - runs apache and stuff.
Anyway, I wanted to see if I could get XF86 running on it. I have it
installed as well as a window manager. But I get errors when I try and
load it up.
Here is my computer's configuration:
Macintosh Performa 636cd with 36megs of ram, 6gig internal ata disk. The
processor has been upgraded to a 68040 from an old Centris - debian
thinks its a Quadra 630 (it told me that in /proc somewhere...).
Ethernet works great (nubus card I believe).
The kernel I'm running is 2.2.20, and I am booting from Mac OS 8.0 with
Penguin-19.
Here's the errors I get when starting x and using config #1:
(**) FBDev: Using XF86Config video mode database
Fatal server error:
No valid modes found.
here's what config #1 looks like:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Linux Frame Buffer Device"
EndSection
# **********************************************************************
# Screen sections
# **********************************************************************
# Server for the Linux Frame Buffer Device
Section "Screen"
Driver "FBDev"

#Virtual 1280 960
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "default"
#Virtual 1280 960
EndSubSection
EndSection
And here is I get with config #2:
(**) FBDev: Using default frame buffer video mode
Fatal server error:
fbdevScreenInit: unable to set screen params (Invalid argument)
here's what I changed for config #2:
instead of listing "640x480 as the mode, I said 'default' :
SubSection "Display"
Depth 8
Modes "default"
#Virtual 1280 960
EndSubSection
Anyway, thanks for your time, please help me out caus' I'm rather
clueless at the moment.
Here's the entire output for config #2. Config #1 looks the same except
for the part at the end that I've pointed out:
