i am trying to get xfree86 running on my apple quicksilver G4@733, with an nVidia GeForce2 MX video card, using the ADC connector with an apple 17" LCD. i am running debian woody ppc, with kernel 2.4.18-newpmac. i hear that this hardware is finally supported with xfree86 4.2.0. i m trying to find out. so i compiled and installed the source, then ran the xf86config program, to get a sample config file. then 'XFree86 -xf86config <path-to-file>'. I get a blank screen, and i ctrl-alt-delete, and notice the log says: VGA(0): Cannot read V_BIOS, Mouse0: cannot determine mouse protocol. i edit the file, and it seems to know what video card i have, but it is using the vga drive. when i switch to the 'nv' driver, i get this: Failed to load module "nv" (module does not exist, 0) No drivers available. so, what s wrong here? nv is the correct driver, right? where do i get this driver? this is my first time trying to do xf86 myself by hand, usually on my x86 it is automatic, so i am reading man XFree86, but there is a lot, and the options i am trying are not helping much. so if anyone can help, i will appreciate it much. thanks joe
