Looks like this gets ask quite often, but I didn't find a solution to fix my problem. I have Debian PPC running on Powerbook G4, I'm trying to get XFree86 running... I'm using whatever is available in the unstable branch, 4.1.0.1, I believe. Linux version 2.4.20-pre7-ben0 (root@floater) (gcc version 2.95.4 20011002 (Debian prerelease)) #1 Fri Sep 20 00:13:16 PDT 2002 cpu : 7455, altivec supported clock : 667MHz revision : 2.1 (pvr 8001 0201) bogomips : 665.19 machine : PowerBook3,4 motherboard : PowerBook3,4 MacRISC2 MacRISC Power Macintosh detected as : 73 (PowerBook Titanium III) pmac flags : 00000003 L2 cache : 256K unified memory : 256MB pmac-generation : NewWorld The problem is that X just doesn't seem to want to see the device.. I get an error below: XFree86 Version 4.1.0.1 / X Window System (protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6510) Release Date: 21 December 2001 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.

Fatal server error: no screens found I think I've tried just about every suggestion I've seen out there. But I obviously don't have the right recipe, I used fbset -x get the modes for the monitor. My XF86Config-4, and kernel config are attached, the full log file available on request. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance. -- Dale Harris rodmur@maybe.org /.-)
