I'm not sure how much it can help people with a imac but here goes my X
config for my ibook 366 Usb-Firewire.
It has a Ati rage 128 mobility so it should at least work for the
regular r128 I think imac has.
It worked from 8.2 to the current cooker.
I had to switch from r128 (24) to fbdev (16) sometimes depending of
Xfree vs kernel but not since few months.
I made from the XFree auto configuration with some modifications after.
You probably need some modifications to the monitor section.
Stew, I remember a thread about to create some kind of database to store
working configuration and tips for special ppc model. Is it up somewhere
?
Couldn't it help a lot the installation for the fisrt timers and squash
down trivial but yet very repetitive configuration bugs and definatively
improved scripts ?
I know you're alone but if it could spare you're time from repeating x
times to tried this or that wouldn't worth it ? I think of some kind of
web page table where we could say for the basic stuff.
For this version of mdk : (New iso, cooker, 8.2)
This model works (Old world, old/new imac, ibook, powerbook, there's not
so much in the ppc world)
- Xfree (2D, 3D, directly or with this modification ...links... to a
text file or a thread)
- Pmud
- etc...
Just my 0.02 canadian dollars.
