[LONG] Radeon 9600 and XFree (new powerbook)

Hi,
I can't make xfree work on my new powerbook (Superdrive 1,25 GHz with radeon 9600) with a video xhipset detected as a M10 radeon, 0x4e50. 

(from /var/log/XFree86.0.log) :
(--) RADEON(0): Chipset: "ATI Radeon Mobility M10 NP (AGP)" (ChipID = 0x4e50) 
(--) RADEON(0): Linear framebuffer at 0xb8000000
(--) RADEON(0): BIOS at 0xb0020000
(II) RADEON(0): Video RAM override, using 65536 kB instead of 65536 kB
(**) RADEON(0): VideoRAM: 65536 kByte (64-bit SDR SDRAM)
(II) RADEON(0): AGP card detected
(II) Loading sub module "ddc"

<...cut...>
I've found (with google) a fiew models of XF86Config-4 and have made a lot of tests, without any success. 

FYI, dmesg says :

Using unsupported 1280x854 ATY,Jasper_A at bc008000, depth=8, pitch=1280
Console: switching to colour frame buffer device 160x53
fb0: Open Firmware frame buffer device on /pci@f0000000/ATY,JasperParent@10/ATY,Jasper_A@0 
Using unsupported 1280x960 ATY,Jasper_B at ba008000, depth=8, pitch=1280
fb1: Open Firmware frame buffer device on /pci@f0000000/ATY,JasperParent@10/ATY,Jasper_B@1 


And, when I connect a second CRT screen, I can read :

...ok
copying OF device tree...done
Initializing fake screen : ATY, Jasper_A
address:bc008000
Calling quiesce...
returning 0x0140000 prom_init

with a 1600x??? (I think) resolution. Anytimes, it's a 640x480 (??)
I've tested a lot of Modelines, with and without the UseFBDev (true/false) option. Other options, like "NoAccel" ("Device" section) don't work too. Of course, I've tested 16, 24 and 32 depth. 

Module Section :

I've tested too with/without dri, glx option. Not tested without GLcore


For example, a short list of Modelines I've tested :

The XFree version I'm using is (like /var/log/XFree86.0.log says) :


XFree86 Version 4.3.99.12 (DRI trunk)
Release Date: 10 September 2003
X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0, Release 6.6
Build Operating System: Linux 2.6.0-test5 ppc [ELF]
Current Operating System: Linux alube 2.4.23-pre5ben1 #1 Wed Oct 29 22:03:30 CET 2003 ppc 
Build Date: 06 October 2003
Changelog Date: 10 September 2003

....

The chipset is :

(II) Primary Device is: PCI 00:10:0
(II) ATI:  Candidate "Device" section "ATI Radeon Mobility M10".
(--) Assigning device section with no busID to primary device
(--) Chipset ATI Radeon Mobility M10 NP (AGP) found
BTW : the kernel is a 2.4.23pre5-ben0, with correct vmalloc_start, radeon driver : 

(dmesg) :

[drm] Initialized radeon 1.9.0 20020828 on minor 0
Linux agpgart interface v0.99 (c) Jeff Hartmann
agpgart: Maximum main memory to use for agp memory: 440M
agpgart: Detected Apple UniNorth 2 chipset
agp: configuring for size idx: 4
agpgart: AGP aperture is 16M @ 0x0
The distribution is a sid / Debian. (installed after copying my kernel from MacOSX partition).
The last but not the least : the only thing I can _correctly_ see is the mouse, correctly drawned ! The rest of the screen looks like stripes with periodic offset...Yes, it's a bit strange... 


So, if someone is using this hardware, any help is welcome.



Best regards,
