XFree86 4.0 auf imac dv

XFree86 4.0 auf imac dv

[Thomas Graichen]

does anyone here have XFree86 4 running suscessfully on a imac dv (or
blueberry which should be basically the same)? - i ask because i tried
the DRI test server from michael daenzer and get problems with the
screen: it shows only the left half and also shows this half again
on the right side - the mousecursor is moving fine over the full
screen btw.

some more details about the setup: latest paulus kernel, XF86Config
standard for a r128 card (the card is an 8mb r128 rl) - if you need
any more information please let me know ...

so has anyone else seen this too or has it working on a similar
machine ... i just wanted to know this before i start looking
deeper

a lot of thanks in advance

t

p.s.: i think this is more a generic xf4 and r128 problem than having
      anything to do with the dri stuff

ok - it works with an own built tree of XFree86 4.0.1 plus the
ppc additions mentioned at linuxppc.org

question: is all the r128 ppc dri stuff in that tree (rsync
penguinppc.org::xfree86-pmac) too or are there any extra patches
required to get it working?

a lot of thanks in advance

No, the DRI stuff isn't in there yet. However, someone here (sorry I don't
remember the name) has merged DRI and xfree86-pmac 2D driver code, using
r128_drv.o from that with my DRI binaries should work for you.
