Hi All, I have managed to get the base install of debian working on my ibook (I fixed the console-common problem by rebooting *shrugs*) however I am having a very hard time getting X working. I have followed the instructions on http://mij.oltrelinux.com/ibook/step_step/index.html which has told me that I need the xfree86 packages from http://people.debian.org/~daenzer/dri-trunk/ which I have done, it then says that in order to get acceleration working you need to compile the drm-trunk-module which I have also done (against a kernel I compiled myself from ppckernel.org) and I got an 'unresolved symbol' error on radeon.o and rage128.o (I think?)
If I then modprobe 'radeon' I get: unresolved symbol radeon_ioremap_agp_free unresolved symbol radeon_ioremap_agp and needless to say X fails to start. I then thought stuff this I will do it without acceleration first, and was unable to get that working either and to make matters worse I dont think it is even logging the attempt (my /var/log/Xfree86.log.0 file doesn't add anything after the original few attempts) Has any managed to get Debian working under a new ibook (bought this year) and if so did you manage to get everything working (I don't want to have to buy a seperate USB modem...if thats the case I will be installing OSX back on here today)?? Thanks for your time, Adam. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
