Re: running x.org on powerpc64 with nvidia6200

[aik <aik.rsdn-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org>]

So, with the help of the community, I've got all the binaries compiled 
and ready-to-run. But it crashes in the very beginning. So the question 
is - what does nouveau expect from the system BIOS to get started (if it 
does)? I'm asking because I know for sure that the BIOS I have does 
support video very limited and I'm not sure that the support implemented 
at the moment is enough to get X.org up.

Also, I've heard an opinion that X.org cannot work with the cards mapped 
behind 4GB range. My server maps all the PCI devices there (see the 
lspci output). Can anybody comment on that?

And thank you all again!
