Interesting, any idea why they didn't use the internal TMDS even for single link? > A friend of mine has a PowerBook3,5 and that uses an internal TDMS (MacModel > "powerbook" woks for him).

So basically, it looks like: PowerBook5,*: 'powerbook-exttmds' PowerBook3,[45]: 'powerbook-inttmds' What about PowerBook3,3 (I forgot that didn't have DVI yet...)? I wonder if that works with "ibook" or has a different setup for VGA and S-video. Presumably the latter, as in contrast to iBooks they're separate connectors. -- Earthling Michel Dänzer | http://tungstengraphics.com Libre software enthusiast | Debian, X and DRI developer _______________________________________________ xorg-driver-ati mailing list [email protected] http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-driver-ati
