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. /*==================================================================== "Don't die wondering..." http://members.bellatlantic.net/~cpg/ email: cpg@bellatlantic.net chris out- peace.
