deb: XFree86 v4.0 on PowerBook/PowerMac.



Has anyone got XFree86 version 4.0 working on the new PowerBook or on a
G4 system.  If so, what kernels did you use and could you post an
XF86Config file.
I can get an X cursor on the G4, but the screen is bright green.  I
can't get any xdm login screens or window managers running.  I'm not
sure if there are conflicts between version 3 and version 4
libraries/binaries.

I have even download the XFree86 source and compiled it.  I can't get it
to work on the PowerBook at all.  I keep getting "ATI unknown chipset
(0x4c46) rev 2" error messages.  This is part of the libscanpci.a module
so I assume its a PCI ID that is unknown but I am not sure.

Can any one help.  Maybe the G4 and new PowerBook aren't supported yet ?

Thanks,
Brendan Simon.
