RE: Acclerated video driver on Powerbook G3 (lombard)

[Katia Frank]

Thanks for the messages in this thread.  I know have kernel 2.2.12 in my
lombard.  USB, PPP, ethernet, and X acceleration are working.  However, I
have a problem with my video that I would like to fix.  A few lines in my
display that are supposed to be vertical lines show as diagonal lines (60
degrees, aprox).  Why?  Can I fix this in my XF86Config file?  This only
happens when X is accelerated (i.e., it does not happen if I check the "no
driver option in bootx).

I have the same problem, and I posted it to the user list, but never got an
answer...

Thanks, I'm going to try that out when I've set up a source tree, access
to samba.anu.edu.au is quite slow from up here.
Do you know if this one also contains the ethernet and/or USB patches?
