I've been trying to get Linux running on a Mac clone with built in Video and a 3rd party card. I cannot get X to run. A couple of years ago I had LinuxPPC on the computer and it worked great, but LinuxPPC is defunct, and I can't get any newer distro of PPC Linux to run X on my machine. I reinstalled LinuxPPC and looked at the XF86Config file to see if I could use it with the newer versions, but it is ... minimal is an understatement. Where the XF86Config files with the newer distros are several hundred lines, the older version is less than 50. But it works without my having to configure anything. One thing I have figured out from various Linux lists and the docs on the XFree86.org site is that I need to specify my video cards. I have the data, but I can't figure out the syntax to put it in. Here is the data on the PCI locations I have: onboard video: 00:d.0 ATI Mach64 215 GT Rev41 ATI XClaim 3D: 00:11.0 ATI Machy64 VT Rev40 If someone can help me I'd really appreciate it.
