Hello, I'm Joey Adams, and I'm interested in participating as a
student in Google Summer of Code with X.Org. I hope to learn how to
develop for and contribute to Xorg, and GSoC is just the thing to get
me started.
I'm particularly interested in working in the area of drivers, though

I'm not sure how OpenFirmware is implemented to know the EDID. On my iMac G3,
the EDID is located at:
/proc/device-tree/p...@f000/ATY,rage128p...@10/EDID
Joseph, does your eMac have an EDID file in a similar location?
Yes. This is what I get on my eMac 1GHz with my external monitor
I played around with gtf and found that my purportedly 1280x960
monitor can display higher resolutions quite nicely (no missing
pixels, apparently). Here is a list of the resolutions and refresh
rates I tested:
//These flicker pretty badly

This patch works when my external monitor is unplugged
My Xorg.0.log and output of xrandr (in the absence of an xorg.conf)
can be found at http://www.funsitelots.com/pub/emac_almostthere .
It looks to me like Xorg is adding default modelines that aren't
appropriate for the internal CRT monitor. Since my LCD monitor
supports 1280x1024 resolution that
I wrote a little script and got the Xorg.0.log of every combination.
In some of the tests, I heard Fedora 10 GNOME's startup sound, and
other times I didn't. IIRC the snippet posted farther down is from a
test where I heard the startup sound. I also got my dmesg (after
rebooting) which may
Yay! I modified my xorg.conf to add the modelines and use the
ConnectorTable, and it displays fine (though there is a bit of
flickering whenever xrandr is called) See
http://www.funsitelots.com/pub/xorg_emacG4_working for logs,
screenshots, etc.
My xorg.conf is as follows:

I'm struggling to get the Radeon driver to work on my eMac G4's Radeon
7500 card (the fbdev driver works fine at 1024x768 with no
acceleration). On both Fedora 8 and Fedora 10 with default xorg.conf,
the screen is blank (the CRT doesn't glow or anything). I have a CRT
monitor that supports up to
