Re: looking for ibook2 xfree86 help
Thanks for the prompt replies folks! I installed xfs and xfonts-base,
and I added "Option" "UseFBDev" to /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 but XFree86
still won't work. My XFree86.0.log file still indicates that it still
can't find fonts. I rebooted once too just to be sure. Below is a
section from the end of the file.

Does radeon need agpgart to work? I've been trying to compile a kernel
but the build dies every time with this error whether I compile agpgart
as a module or not.

Once again, thanks for sharing your time and knowledge folks. I really
appreciate it.

Hi there. I'm trying to get xfree86 working on my ibook2.
I followed the instructions here:
http://mij.oltrelinux.com/ibook/step_step/index.html#xfree
I gte to the step whre I'm supposed to type X to see if it will work, my
screen goes gray black and after a few minutes I can it drop back to the
terminal (F1) but the screen is sort of solarized.
Probably because you don't use Option "UseFBDev" (you need radeonfb for
that).
(WW) RADEON(0): Video BIOS not detected in PCI space!
(WW) RADEON(0): Attempting to read Video BIOS from legacy ISA space!

This is normal and harmless.
Could not init font path element unix/:7100, removing from list!
Fatal server error:

Make sure you have xfs and xfonts-base installed.
