Re: Radeon driver not works on PPC with X800
There's some information on the Debian PowerPC FAQ that may be helpful:
https://wiki.debian.org/PowerPC/FAQ#How_do_I_get_graphics_working.3F
Specifically the section about G3 iBooks and eMacs having blank screens. The "nomodeset" mentioned in the FAQ does the same thing as "radeon.modeset=0".
Regards,
Dan

Add the
line video=screen resolution. For example for
1024x768
video=1024x768-32

Hi!
I have an old G4 MDD,
with an X800 card. I've just installed Debian Jessie and
tried to breathe life into the 2d acceleration, but without
success. If i install "firmware-linux-nonfree",
then it loads the "r420_cp.bin", but then i only
got a black screen after boot and the machine freezes
completely.
My dmesg log:http://oscomp.hu/depot/dmesg.log
And xorg.log after a
crash:http://oscomp.hu/depot/Xorg.0.log
I don't know if i am
at the right place with this, but nobody could help me with
this. Is this a known problem on PPC with X800 cards?
I've read in this topic (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1825309&page=2)
that radeon not works with X800 on PPC.
Can anyone help me with
this?
