Here is my working xorg.conf [1] from an Intellistation 285 and GXT135P with Debian 6.0.3. I could only get it to work with the fbdev driver - mga just wouldn't play ball at all.On Mon, Jan 23, 2012 at 09:39:51PM +0000, Mark Benson wrote:I finally got a bootable Debian 6.0.3 system. It's a good start! I now find myself stuck in another hole. Xorg doesn't like either my GXT6500P or my GXT135P graphics boards. It doesn't seem to have a driver for either. I am also totally lost with Xorg. I have hacked good ole' X11R6 with .conf files in the past but this new auto-configuring system is beyond me, I don't even know where to put a xorg.conf to get it to read it in?/etc/X11/xorg.conf should work.
The GXT6500 will only work with the CruxPPC patch which is on their install CD (never tried it).
As a matter of interest what did you do to get yaboot up and running? If I am remembering correctly I had to open a virtual console at the end of the installation and type dd if=/usr/lib/yaboot/yaboot of=/dev/sda1 to copy yaboot to the PReP partition.
