Hi all, i'm trying to make the new PowerBook G4 to work under debian unstable since few month with no succes, most of problems comes from the radeon 9600. I tried benh kernels :
2.4.23-ben1 2.4.23-pre5 2.6.0 2.6.0-test11 2.6.1-rc1 first i thought xfree didn't start because of radeonfb not working with 2.4.23-pre5, i must use offb or ofonly (xfree don't want them), then i tried 2.6.0-test11 wich accepts radeonfb but with blank screen, no succes with xfree. In fact Xfree didn't know radeon 9600 so i installed xfree86 4.3.99 from : ftp://ftp.ppcnux.de/pub/Mirrors/ftp.debian.de/xfree86/dists/sid/binary-powerpc/ (if somebody knows a better version i'm aware, this one isn't very good, X11 forwarding don't work and whiteglass cursor only on qt apps, i don't care about whiteglass but it's strange) then it worked with 2.6.0-test11 (blind during boot because of radeonfb but xfree launches), but then each time i try to launch a video app the kernel freezes, i used mplayer (mpeg work but not other formats) or xine. It don't seems to be xfree fault because if i launch from another machine with no X (mplayer -vo null) the machines hangs, no ping, i have to hard reboot. Later i tried 2.6.0-test11 and 2.6.1-rc1 wich xfree don't work uppon (awfull parasites, imposible to read anything on the screen) - Each time with about "same" .config - My last try was 2.4.23-ben1 wich is the only able to display corectly radeonfb at boot, woow :-) ! But Xfree display is buggy (less than 2.6.0-test11 and 2.6.1-rc1) and each time i launch a gnome-session from gdm kernel hangs (no ping). Does anybody experienced/solved those problems ? A working .config file or a better Xfree86 release ? A idea ? Thanks ! PS: config files -> http://industrie.dyndns.org/soft/debian/TiBook -- mammique <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
