Hello all,

Some bugs with RC1 PPC:

I have tried both the Beta 2 release and, now, RC1, and have yet to get
X configured properly on my 667 MHz 2002 Powerbook.

Video card: ATI Radeon Mobility,  "M7" chipset variant (as reported by
Apple System Profiler)
Saw february thread about 2002 Tibook  using the "install-gui-benh"
option. This does not produce a legible install screen on my machine
(it looks like 800x600 mirrored twice on the screen).I have gotten
through the installer and had no luck trying to modify XF86config-4
with various modelines .

The 9.1 RC1 installer doesn't list 1280x854 as a possible resolution,
but it does list Apple Power Book 1280x854 under the Monitor section.

The Rescue mode on CD1 seems to try to rerun lilo: obviously not going
to work with PPC version

Some questons:

Does anyone have a working XF86config-4 file for this machine. What
modelines, specifically, work with 1280x854?

Does the included version of Xfree in RC1 (9.1) include a driver for
the Radeon 7500 mobility (M7 variant)?



Any help to get through this install/config would be greatly
appreciated.

Derek D
