xserver debian on ppc
 |
alrighty... a have another headache to add to the list...
i have searched around the net, and stared at my screen to try and solve my problem, but alas, no joy!
i have installed a basic debian system on to my ibook, and it all works fine through the command line.. however... when i start up, the xfree86 config says that it cannot detect a screen on the default pci:0.16.0 or whatever it is... so i have no idea how i can get the system to recognise my screen...
when i boot into debian via yaboot, i pass the string "video=ofonly", could this have something to do with it?
is it possibly to do with the radeon driver??
any help would be greatly appreciated!!

well... it seems i was a little too premature on this post... i have since found a mountain of information out on the net, albeit a little hard to find exactly what to use...
the xfree86 site has a lot of info on how to configure the xserver etc...
till next time...

dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 (most probably)
this should allow you to manually configure all the settings of your agp card mouse etc...
hope it helps
