Yes. Setting the mouse option to "imps/2" works on my G4. I thought the docs for Xfree86 4.0 said that PS/2 is not supported for Linux (or was that Linux98 ?). I guess it doesn't matter too much at this stage but it is confusing when the required configuration options contradict the docs. > > > Do I need a kernel parameter option ? ie. video=.... ? > > No, I assume you're already using aty128fb. I didn't have any video options set. I set video=aty128fb in yaboot.conf but it doesn't make any difference. I get the bright green screen. When I change video modes with ctrl-alt-+ I can see that the resolution changes but the background turns to purple. All modes now have a purple background. I'm lost at what to try now. Maybe I should try with the option "novideo" ? I am running in runlevel 2 and "ps aux" shows that xdm is running. Is this a problem ? Also things like startx don't work. This is a script which calls xinit which must be from XFree86 version 3 and hence doesn't understand the new XF86Config file. Am I better off trying to use xpmac of devfb servers instead of XFree86 version 4.0 server ? I think I'd prefer to persevere with 4.0 but I must get it running on my Powerbook with the Rage 128 Mobility chipset. > Double check this in dmesg tho.
