From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 Message-ID: <000f01c12d79$63013200$0401a8c0@trex> From: "Jeff Rugen" To: Subject: XFree86 4.1 with clgenfb framebuffer Date: Sat, 25 Aug 2001 08:19:31 -0700 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Sender: owner-linuxppc-dev@lists.linuxppc.org List-Id: I've installed XFree86 4.1 for the powerpc from xfree86.org, and am trying to get X working again. I am using a Motorola Powerstack (prep) with the clgenfb framebuffer, and linux 2.2.20pre6. The console works fine on the framebuffer (I only have a framebuffer console in the kernel right now). I have what almost seems to be a working XF86Config file, but when I start X (using the startx script), it doesn't work completely. I get a blank screen. However, when I look at the running processes, xinit. xclock, and twm are running with my permissions, and X and 3 xterms are running with root permissions (shouldn't the xterms be with my permissions too?). When I quit X, the screen stays blank (though I do see a flicker), and I have to reboot to get a display back. One thing that makes me curious is that the shadow framebuffer is being loaded, and I don't specify it in the XF86Config file. (And yes, it is using the config file I think it is using -- the output from starting it verifies that). Another is that it indicates that DPMS is enabled (could I be going into DPMS mode and not coming out of it?) Does anyone have any suggestions, or alternate XF86Config files I could try? I don't remember if I pulled the 2.4 clgen framebuffer code back into my 2.2 tree, but my tree is based on rsync from vger.samba.org/vger-2.2, so I could pretty easily generate a diff on it (though if you'd like this, telling me the command to generate the diff would save me the time from looking it up :) ). Thanks for any help. Jeff ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
