PowerMac 9600 video questions

[Eric Deveaud <edeveaud@pasteur.fr>]

	Hi,

I'm setting up a powerMac 9600/350 (currently 128Mb ram but should jump
to 512 soon) with 2 HD (2Gb MacOS / 9Go Debian woody)

install method was:
get Ramdisk.image.tgz vmlinux from potato
boot with BootX
minimal NFS potato install
edited /etc/apt/sources.list to point to woody
apt-get dist-upgrade.

I was unable to install woody directly, it always fail when looking at
Release or basedebs.tgz

runs 2.4.18-pre7-ben0 from this morning rsync.

currently everything runs fine, except X

dmesg gives me the following (selected parts)


MacOS display is /bandit/IMS,tt128mb8A
Using unsupported 1024x768 IMS,tt128mb8A at 92000020, depth=32,
pitch=4096
Console: switching to colour frame buffer device 128x48
fb0: Open Firmware frame buffer device on /bandit/IMS,tt128mb8A


lspci shows me the following

zig:~ > lspci -v
01:0b.0 Host bridge: Apple Computer Inc. Bandit PowerPC host bridge (rev
03)
        Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32

01:0f.0 Display controller: Integrated Micro Solutions Inc. IMS9129
[Twin turbo 128] (rev 01)
        Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 29
        Memory at 92000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=16M]
        Expansion ROM at 90000000 [disabled] [size=64K]


I have configured /etc/X/XF86Config-4 this way

Section "Device"
        Identifier      "hummm"
        Driver          "ati"
        BusID           "PCI:1:15:0"
        Option          "UseFBDev"
EndSection



BUT cause ther's always a but.  ;-))

startx faill and complains this way (taken from /var/log/XFree86.0.log)
(EE) No devices detected.

Fatal server error:
no screens found

on other hand /var/log/XFree86.0.log shows me the following
(--) PCI: (1:15:0) IMS TwinTurbo 128 rev 1, Mem @ 0x92000000/24, BIOS @
0x90000000/16

the card was probed on the expected BusID.


I must tell , that I'm going crazy, and have a big headache trying
to figure out where's the problem

	Thank's in advance for any help/input/tip  ;-))

	Eric

PS I can put on a web page the full XFree86.0.log, XFXF86Config-4 and
output that could help.
