I know it crept in at the tail end of the 8.2 cycle when we where reworking X for other r128 issues. Probably a bad combination of patches or an endian issue. I don't think you're going to miss out on much, as you're still using the native ati driver, rather than fbdev. It's not present on all r128, and on Mach64 it manifests itself as an interest flashing phenomena. > Thanks again, > Gabe > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Stew Benedict > Sent: Thursday, October 03, 2002 6:37 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: Problem with video on iMac (more) > > > Ahh - i2c > > 2 ways to work around it: > > Option "composite_sync" "off" > > in the "Device section of /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 (below BusID would work) > > or disable the i2c driver > > cd /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/ > mv libi2c.a libi2c.bad > > Stew Benedict > > -- > MandrakeSoft > PPC FAQ: http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/ppcFAQ.php3 > IRC: irc.openproject.net #cooker-ppc > > > Stew Benedict -- MandrakeSoft PPC FAQ: http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/ppcFAQ.php3 IRC: irc.openproject.net #cooker-ppc
