I had this file accidentally selected when building a 2.6.11.6 kernel=20 from debians kernel-source-2.6.11, 2.6.11-3 version package for my=20 PowerMac G3, all of: FB_ATY FB_ATY_CT FB_ATY_XL_INIT FB_ATY_GX but not FB_ATY_GENERIC_LCD where selected, accordingly the build failed because of a missing=20 symbol: aty_st_lcd aty_st_lcd is called in line 256 of xlinit.c but perhaps should be=20 surrounded by an ifdef like its declaration in atyfb.h and definition=20 in atyfb_base.c: #if defined(CONFIG_PM) || defined(CONFIG_PMAC_BACKLIGHT) || defined (CONFIG_FB_ATY_GENERIC_LCD) extern void aty_st_lcd(int index, u32 val, const struct atyfb_par *par); extern u32 aty_ld_lcd(int index, const struct atyfb_par *par); #endif This is just a report of a problem I faced because I had FB_ATY_XL_INIT activated, although I don't really need it. Therefore I'm currently using a kernel built without FB_ATY_XL_INIT defined (the kernel thus produced does work on my system, I guess therefore, that the problem described by Mikael Pettersson does only affect the first generation beige PowerMac G3 (my system is of 2nd revision). OTOH: This kernel does, with the exact same arguments to the kernel, boot with another video timing than the 2.6.9 kernel I used until now. This is an improvement because the old kernel selected the mode 1024x768-24@60 while 1024x768-24@75 was requested. The 2.6.11 kernel doesn't select a perfect match either (it's using 1024x768-24@76).
