Greetings all.
I'm trying to get XFree86 (4.1.0.1) to work with my Apple monitor, which
is a Macintosh 16" Color Display. I just installed Debian 3.0 PPC on a
PowerMac 7200/75 with the standard built-in video only, w/ 1MB of VRAM.
It boots using quik.
The monitor is a fixed-frequency (50 kHz horiz / 75 Hz vert) model with a
resolution of 832 x 624, 70 dpi. The monitor works fine as a tty, but
attempts to start XFree86 aren't successful. There are no error (EE)
indications in the log until it reports:
Fatal server error:
AddScreen/ScreenInit failed for driver 0
I haven't found anything useful on the web or the list archives, other
than a vague reference to xpmac (deprecated) and building a customized
ModeLine. Other than the fact that the monitor manual gives values of 70
dpi and 57 MHz, the following auto-generated value from the log looks
fine to me:
(**) FBDev(0): Built-in mode "current": 57.6 MHz, 50.0 kHz, 75.0 Hz
(II) FBDev(0): Modeline "current" 57.60 832 880 944 1152 624 625 628
667 -hsync -vsync -csync
(==) FBDev(0): DPI set to (75, 75)
I don't think those minor differences are significant, since I've played
around with them in the ModeLine.
One message appears on the console that does not show up in the log file:
FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO: Invalid argument
I've attached the current config file (which I've edited after generating
it with 'dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86'), and the most recent log
file, which was generated using the active values in the config file.
Any solutions or help making progress would be appreciated.
