XFree 4.0.1 phase2v7 on Powermac 7600/132 /chaos/control

[Frederic Seraphine <Frederic.Seraphine@inrialpes.fr>]

Hi again,

I followed Michel's advice and installed nearly flawlessly the XFree 4.0.1 
phase2 .debs (it was v7 at the time I tried it).

The only glitche I encountered in the installation was the it didn't 
de-install xserver-fbdev_3.3.6 and didn't install xserver-xfree86_4.0.1_0pha
se2v7. But that was simple to correct once detected.

As for the software itself, if it works better than my first experience 
with 4.0.1 it still doesn't work properly:

	- the powermac 7600/132 /chaos/control graphic device is correctly
	  detected and the amount of vram is correctly guessed too.

	- XFree86 -configure fail: error 11 while testing the different
	  drivers.

	- the X server display is buggy: the display is wrapped around the
	  screen so that each extremity touch  in the center of the screen.
	  But the xserver doesn't echo any errors whatsoever.

		what it usually			what i get
		look like

So for the time being I reverted to XFree 3.3.6 framebuffer server, but I'll try to see how XFree 4.0.1 works under the 3dfx with the mac roms.

Attached is my XF86Config for XFree 4.0.1
