One thing that has changed is that PCI support is disabled, so providing a bus ID in the device section doesn't work anymore. If that's not the problem, we need more information like the config file and server log. -- Earthling Michel Dänzer (MrCooper)/ Debian GNU/Linux (powerpc) developer XFree86 and DRI project member / CS student, Free Software enthusiast |

Hmm, IIRC this should be possible. Please read the article on http://www.debianplanet.org/node.php?id=627 .

Forget tasksel, it's like catching a mouse with an elephant. Download x-window-system by apt-get install x-window-system or using aptitude. Afterwards, download some gnome stuff (if you like).

Hi all,
Each time I start Linux, my monitor is switching 4 times (it looks like i=
f
it tries to find a screen mode) before I see the prompt. Is that normal ?=
After reading some docs I found how to get an ext3 partition by using mke=
2fs
-j /dev/... but can I do that on my boot partition without loosing
everything ?
I succeed with the floppy : -o size=3D1760 was too much =
I restart the installation but after the base system, I choose only X wit=
h
tasksel. =
I chose this time glint as gfx driver and it looks like the system
recognizes the pm2 with a busID of PCI:00:01:00
But startx does not work.
Here is the error log and the XF86Config-4
Hope someone could solve this

Hi all, I installed the base system from Debian3.0 CD and already tried a few time to install the rest but here I am getting stuck because whatever I do, in the end X does not work. I am using vmapus-2.4.13-20011030.lha as kernel. I have an A1200PPC + BvisionPPC. 1) Which gfx driver do I select (fbdev,glint) ? 2) How to obtain PCI ID bus decimal ? 3) What is the name of the mouse port ? I use the normal amigamouse port, but during the config process I do not which port to select (psaux, tty0) 4) I choose gdm as default window manager but until now the only thing I got after booting is bash (I guess here is something to do with X). 5) I copied the XF86Config-4 found on apus site to /etc but still X does not work 6) Which keyboard do I choose ? I have an A4000 keyboard with fr layout. I selected macintosh and fr. 7) I wanted to transfer XFfree86.0.log to my df0: to include it here but I can not mount the drive with the command "mount -t affs /dev/fd0 /floppy -o size=1760". Whats wrong ? Thats all for now, thanks in advance Lio |

You should download kernel using cvs and try to compile it by yourself. Instructions how to do this are on linux-apus.sf.net, you should find there something about CVS (go to kernel part). BTW. You should have read XFree.log carefully, there's everything you want to know - look at the lines beginnig with (EE) - they indicate errors. Kernels above 2.4.13 don't boot because of a nasty bug in interrupts handling in apus, it wasn't removed but I introduced a little hack that helped A1200 users.

I think there is some problem in the APUS kernel, servicing interrupts maybe, that has never been solved. It does not evidenty show up except with certain hardware combinations; like mine I'm afraid. :) I haven't tryed APUS in awhile but I always had trouble with freezes and lockups expecially after pushing any kind of sustained disk activity. When I installed NETBSD I never noticed such problems. Of course at the time there was no PPC port done. (OT) That reminds me. I need to check to see if the NETBSD folks ever got the PowerUP port done. Fred |

Hi ! I'm using 2.4.18 kernel and I experience a few problems with it. It's quite stable but try to install xserver 4.x.x and you will start running through the minefields :) I've lost one ext2 partition and two reiserfs because of xserver 4.1.0 running on 2.4.18. I found out that this version causes data corruption while writing to harddisk. Xserver 4.2.1 is a bit better it doesn't cause data coruuption while writing to "/" partition, but sometimes it trashes swap partition (what randomly crashes programs) and after a xserver's restart every(!) program ends with "segmentation fault" error. Can it be A1200 specific problem, what with A4000 users ? Has anyone experienced that problem ?

Hi! When I use KPPP to utilize my modem, the whole system freezes. This happens to the 2.4.18-2 kernel. So it seems that the serial port works better with the 2.2.10 kernel, how come? Is this going to be fixed soon? It's a pity that I can't use Debian to go online. I haven't tested how well the serial port works with the latest 2.4 kernel, yet.. I also tried to compile my own kernel, but for me this was a pain, but I will test this again in the future. When will there be working joy support for the 2.4 kernel? -- Bj=F6rn Johansson "Debian rocks!!" |
