RE: [gentoo-ppc-user] ATI configuration?
I'm new at this, and I don't know about ebuild yet. Can you give me a hint about what I should do to get the Xorgautoconfig built? Thanks! Mark M.

When I use Xorg –configure I get a working configuration with the ati driver, but the screen is (maybe) 640x480 and that’s it. I’ve tried merging the two files in every combination I can think of, and am not getting anywhere. Thanks in advance for your help! Mark M.

Re: [gentoo-ppc-user] ATI configuration?
I believe that either you are missing a driver in your kernel, or haven't loaded it if set as a module. On Thursday 04 May 2006 9:41 am, Mark M. Hart wrote: I just did an emerge on Xorgautoconfig and ran the command, but the xorg.conf file it makes doesn't work - it tells me that ATI(0) Adapter has not been initialized, and Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration. It sets Mode 1024x768 at several depths, which I can live with, and default mode of 16, which I can also live with. Now if I could just get it to work ... Thanks! Mark M.

Mark M. Hart [EMAIL PROTECTED] You should probably take a look at the PPC FAQ[1]. I'm not exactly sure which chipset your Mac has, but if you provide the output of Xorgautoconfig --dump, I'll take a look at it. - -Joe [1] http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-ppc-faq.xml -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.3 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFEWhPiwGq7BLLARfoRAnaAAKCmmTQlLpok11q5DjZR36qYsqaIhgCg1sko c9IpB/9r6c7YFsSHEDNSDhI= =ply5 -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- gentoo-ppc-user@gentoo.org mailing list

This is an old 233 mhz box, and slow video isn't going to make that much difference, I think. I would like to know at some point how to get ATI video going with real drivers for my faster machine when I move it from OS X to gentoo - maybe I have to compile it into the kernel when I do my genkernel -menuconfig all command? Thanks! Mark M. Hart [EMAIL PROTECTED] It's probably a Mach64, but I can't say without the output from Xorgautoconfig --dump and lspci -v.
