Re: can not launch xfree86 on debian linux on ibook G3

Hi, Danzer:

  thanks for your reply!
is it the MUST to make xfree86 work on ibook that to install the "drm-trunk-modules-src"? or it 's just an option?
This "unresolved symbles" problem comes when I install the drm-trunk-module-*.deb with command "dpkg -i drm-trunk-module-*.deb" 

in my case
it was fine to install x-window stuff and xserver-xfree86-dri-trunk, xlibmesa3-dri-trynk with the command: "apt-get install x-window-system-core x-window-system" and "apt-get install drm-trunk-module-src xserver-xfree86-dri-trunk xlibmesa3-dri-trunk" 

 after this failure when i did "dpkg-i-drm-trunk-module-*.deb"
then I do "startx" the screen turn to black ( grey actually) immidiately and hunged. i have to powerdown with power botton , but next time when I boot the linux, it tried to start the X and run into the same problem.( screen trun to black and machine hunged).
I searched some mail-list about installation of debian linux on ibook 3, I found another guy run in to the problem of "unresolved symblies in gamma.o" and fixed that with changing XF86Config-4 ( add the option Chipset ATI range" which is defirent from mine) 
I tried to do like that but it didn't work either.

 now I am out of ideas
any suggestion is wellcomed

thanks

HI,
Thank you, I followed the procedure of installation of Xfree86 4.2 step 
by step , but unformtunitly,
The last step, install the driver, with
dpkg -I *deb
it failed and got following error massage:

Unpacking replacement drm-trunk-module-2.4.20-ben10 ...
Depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in
/lib/modules/2.4.20-ben10/kernel/drivers/char/drm/gamma.o


Where does it say 'error'? This is harmless because you don't need the
gamma module.



I noticed that when I did
Apt-get install x-window-system-core x-window-system

The version of x-window-system is 4.1.8 or something like that
Is it the reason?


Hardly (even though that would be a funny version), though it depends
what the problem is. :)
