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.
