Hello,
I try to get X (Michel Dänzers DRI-trunk, as suggested by ibook
install manuals) running on my iBook G4.
I (need to) boot with video=ofonly, otherwiese (e.g. video=radeonfb)
I get black running stripes over the text console.
Now I try to configure X. I got the drivers from Michel Dänzer, and
installed them. I am unsure, what I should enter for the sync rates:
HorizSync 40-50
VertRefresh 60
Option "DPMS"
After reading around, this seems to be ignored/unimportant? The device
section looks now:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Standardgrafikkarte"
Driver "radeon"
Option "UseFBDev"
Option "DRIReinit"
BusID "PCI:0:16:0"
EndSection
Starting X, I see stripes running over the screen, much like wrong
refresh (or wrong resolution) on a CRT. When I kill X, I have nice
graphical effects (looks like an colourful implosion) and no text
console anymore.
In the server log I see:

/dev/fb0 - /dev/fb7 do exist and are character devices. The permissions look
fine to me.
Suggestions or pointers to the right FAQ are much appreciated.
Thanks!
