Mac's don't have connector tables in their bioses like x86 boards, so we have to hard code them based on how they are wired up per board. That MacModel option just hardcodes connector tables the same way the ConnectorTable option does. It's just easier to specify the mac model than to specify a ConnectorTable string. I doubt they will be useful in your case, since they are just arbitrary combinations of encoders, connectors, and ddc channels corresponding to a specific machine which may or may not be similar to your particular board.
O.k., I now tried to use one of the half-way working "MacModel" options plus a
hard-coded monitor modeline as in the good old days, and now I at least *have* an output
in 1280x1024 with the accelerated driver! However, there are still several issues:
- Switching to a text console doesn't work. Hit <crtl><alt><f1>, and the
well-known green shades/blue line appear. Switching to any other console or back to X doesn't
work, no chance to get video working again but a reboot.
- Only XAA acceleration works properly; with EXA some colours seem to be "mixed" or
"missing" (like less red and more blue) resulting in weird icons. Maybe a different
colour order?
- Both Xine and VLC show an effect as if the pixel order is reversed (like a
PowerPC/endianess issue) if Xv output is used. The ssllooww X11 video output
on VLC works properly. This effect is not present with the frame buffer driver.
- In the Xine splash screen, I see two thin lines of very bright, flickering
green pixels. never saw that before.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Albrecht.
