Re: XFree86 on Wallstreet
I've put up mine at http://home.uchicago.edu/~obmontoy/XF86Config-4
Getting XFree4 running on my Wallstreet was non-trivial. I originally
got it working in LinuxPPC 2000, compiling my own from ajoshi's
sources (search the linuxppc-user archives at
http://lists.linuxppc.org/lists/linuxppc-user if you want); when I
switched to Debian Unstable I couldn't get it working, so I just
copied my whole /usr/X11R6 directory to my new /usr. A recent apt-get
upgrade broke it again, but luckily I still had my old tarball and I
got it going again right away. The interesting thing is that I've
done another apt-get upgrade this week, and I think I got new XFree
debs, but this time it is not broken. I'm really not sure whether I'm
running my own Xfree or the Unstable debs---I think it's my own.
But one thing I've noticed is that my XFree86.0.log has a different
last line from the one you included: mine says
(II) ATI: Candidate "Device" section "Generic Video Card".
where yours says
> (II) ATI: Candidate "Device" section "ATI Mach64 3D Rage Pro".
Which is presumably a result of the following from my XF86Config-4:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Generic Video Card"
Driver "ati"
EndSection
Hope this helps
O.
