Re: X-Windows & NewWorld Macs
I have a similar setup...recent developments in XFree86 means
that things are really looking up for the GeForce2 MX card
and VGA/ADC outputs.
XFree86 4.2 (xf-4_2-branch) works on VGA using "nv" driver.
This driver definitely does not detect the ADC (see posting below).
You'll have to compile it yourself or use one of the 4.2 offerings
posted earlier in the list (until it hits Woody).
Note the default for powerpc is *not* to compile nv. You will
have to add it to your host.def
#define XFree86ExtraCardDrivers nv
(something like that - check the actual macro name).
I have got reports from the XFree86 Xpert mailing list that ADC output
support is now in CVS. (nv driver in XFree86 HEAD has two new Options
"CrtcNumber" and "FlatPanel". ) Here are comments from the Xperts
--------------------------------------------------
>From Ani Joshi ajoshi at shell dot unix dot com:
Use the version in cvs right now, or use the attatched patch against 4.2.0
nv driver.
--------------------------------------------------
Ani has posted a patch (a 48k diff) to xpert@Xfree86.Org for 4.2 - it should
be available
in the archives.
---------------------------------------------------
>From Mark Vojkovich (Nvidia!!) mvojkovich at nvidia dot com:
It definitely won't work in 4.2, it might work in CVS. You
may need to set:
Option "CrtcNumber" "1"
in the Section "Device" of the XF86Config file in order to use
the ADC output. I believe the ADC output is always hooked up to
CRTC 1, and CRTC 0 is hooked up to the VGA connector. The "nv"
driver didn't support CRTC 1 until support was added for GeForce2 Go
which uses CRTC 1 for the built in panel.
--------------------------------------------------------
So it should work with a bit of pain so don't give up yet. Good luck.
Overall, I am delighted with Debian-testing on the G4 powermac and when the
ADC stuff works it will be perfect!
Cheers
Richard
