I am trying to get my X console to work with my PowerMac G4 Snakebite dualie with GForce 2MX. I am running Debian unstable but I compiled and installed the latest Xfree86 CVS sources.
pmac:/usr# X -version This is a pre-release version of XFree86, and is not supported in any way. Bugs may be reported to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and patches submitted to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Before reporting bugs in pre-release versions, please check the latest version in the XFree86 CVS repository (http://www.XFree86.Org/cvs) XFree86 Version 4.2.99.1 / X Window System (protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6600) Release Date: xx January 2002 If the server is older than 6-12 months, or if your card is newer than the above date, look for a newer version before reporting problems. (See http://www.XFree86.Org/) Build Operating System: Linux 2.4.18-pre8-ben0 ppc [ELF] Module Loader present What happens is when I start the latest version of Mozilla (grabbed off mozilla.org) I can surf a bit. When I click into the URL box and delete a dozen or so characters, X stops working and the arrow cursor is flipped over. I also encountered some errors when compiling X. The errors were in /programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/loader in the xf86sym.c file: xf86sym.c:153: conflicting types for `outb' and outw, outl, inb, inw, inl. conflicting types in /programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/common/compiler.h:1110: previous declaration of `outb' I ifdef'd the lines and got X to compile and install without any more errors. -- Fred
