Bug#436536: xserver-xorg-video-ati: Xorg does not start on a PowerMacintosh 9600/300 with an ATI Mach64 PCI video card



Package: xserver-xorg-video-ati
Version: 1:6.6.3-2
Severity: normal

*** Please type your report below this line ***
On a PowerMacintosh 9600/300 with the standard ATI Mach64 PCI video card,
the X server will not start, giving the following errors:

- with the auto-generated Xorg.conf (DefaultDepht set to 24)
   Driver can't support depht 24

- with DefaultDepth set to 15 or 16:
   Depth [15|16] is not supported through this adapter

- with DefaultDepht set to 8 or commented out altogether:
   Linear aperture not available

See also attached log files.

A Sony 17" CRT monitor is connected to the video card by means of a
Mac-VGA adapter. The adapter is set to a fixed resolution of
1152x870, but changing settings on the adapter does not have any effect.
Also, providing a custom ModeLine in Xorg.conf with values obtained
with fbset -x on the console does not have any effect.
