Re: ATI Rage128 video DID work, but...

[peter plessas <plessas@mur.at>]

Hi!

I had the same problem with my pismo/ATI Rage 128 and just compiled a 
new 2.6.8 with the aforementioned changes to prom_init.c.
After doing the Option UseFBDev and Option sw_cursor changes to my X 
config, the second VGA out works! Thanks very much for the help!
But there is another problem that occurred with my new kernel:

At startup, the system can't "access the hardware clock by any known 
method" resulting in a date of Jan 1904, which makes my Xserver refuse 
to start.

I haven't found any solution yet...
The startup message also suggest that i use the "--debug" method to find 
out which ways it tries to access the hardware clock, but giving a 
"linux --debug" command at the yaboot promt, i see no change
(this is perhaps an alltogether wrong way of using kernel bootup arguments?)

with the new kernel, i was just excluding some unneeded alsa and 
joystick modules, no other changes were made.

Well i'm pretty stuck at this point, and having to set the date&time 
manually at every startup is not an option either.

My logs in /var/log don't say anything about that issue (or i haven't 
found them...)

Does anyone know sth i could try?

Thank you all!
Peter
