yes, and it's a killer one (on PBG3292, 3 times faster than the
P200/linux we have at school), see :
http://www.blackdown.org/
http://business.tyler.wm.edu/mklinux/
I ran the fix program on every executables/libs I found in the archive,
but it stll doesn't work in R5.
before, I got segfaults just typing "javac"
now it prints help, but segfaults for compiling the slightest
"hello.java"... still work to be done here, but WITH Xwindows, please,
not before !

Here it doesn't work at all :
The screen is divided in 4 quarters, both higher quarters contains a
small fvwm screen (each), both lower are black,
the mouse is frozen and it dies quickly.
This is with a bad kernel argument :video=atyfb:vmode:14,cmode:16
(I say bad because atyfb doesn't pop up in the boot sequence, and
XF68_FBDev doesn't sense the aty either)
The screen is white, with somme console text in transparency, the mouse
is working a few seconds, you can activate a pop-up menu (which you can
hardly decipher) and the whole machine is frozen.
This is with video=atyfb,vmode:14,cmode:16 in BootX, which is as (if not
more) bad than the first.
(I say bad because it's not the good syntax for video= with much args,
but at least "atyfb : ATY RAGE LT PRO" etc appears in the boot sequence,
and XF68_FBDev seems to make some use of it)
And stranger even : when atyfb is recognized by the kernel, randomly the
console font changes to a rather gothic one, frezzing all quickly ???!!??
This is all with kernel 2.2.0/2.2.1 from ftp.fr.kernel.org, and now with
a 2.2.2 from samba cvs (a little patched to include volume buttons
functions). I included only both atyfb options in the kernel (plus OFfb
of course).

I'll try again this one.
I'm quite disappointed since I have the same setup on a 8600, which
works well with XF68_FBDev, in 16bpp.

Hello *,
Batmensch : to be continued on the list
This afternoon I discovered the XF86Config.controlfb of Mr T. Oe I believe.
I tried it on my 8600, thinking it would accelerate somethings...(may be
later with the controlfb.c took at the same archive) but instead I took
some time to better use the "Monitor" statement of the XF86Config.
I set the good values for my monitor (Hitachi CM751ET) and now XFBDev
behaves slightly better to my taste.
For example I now get rid of the strange 1280x1024 real over 1280x16XX
virtual resolution of the very generic XF86Config.pmac.
Wich leaded me to this : what about if XFBDev tryied the same weird
resolutions on the poor LCD of my PBG3 ? (I use XF86Config.pmac on the
PBG3). Since the beginning I though it would be an error in the
resolution , this strange behavior of two small X screens in two
quarters etc..
I tried to include in my 8600's XF86Config the LCD settings, but I lack
some info (how to set 1024x768@60Hz)
Well, I hooked up the hitachi on the PBG3, with the SAME config as the
8600 (works here in 1280x1024@75Hz) and it didn't work.
I got basically the same error than here (no valid modes found, after
having eliminated all modes), using my half definition for the PBG3 14,1
LCD :

My question is : is it necessary to tune things to this end to get this
[snip] of XFBdev working ?
Has it already be done ? If yes where ?
