XFConfig file

From: J. <kh...@te...> - 2002-10-31 15:46:42

Hi!

I want a new XF86Config file. If somebody on this list have it, mail it t=
o
me, please. It should work with a CybervisionPPC together with
Debian3.0.

Might

    http://linux-apus.sourceforge.net/contrib/

be what you're looking for?

Sidenote: XF86Config files are quite custom, i.e. depending on which keyb=
oard
layout you're using, which resolutions your display supports etc., so a
foreign config can only be an outline how to configure it for yourself.

If you're not satisfied with what you find on the above mentioned link, f=

I tried this file yesterday and set the logfile to Alan Buxley.
I also tried to make my own XF86Config file but it gave
me the same result:

No screens available
(and a lot more output of course...)

Why are you trying to use the s3virge driver, when all the sample
XF86Config files say glint?

I thought that maybe the CybervisionPPC had support for this,
but I guess it hasn't. Anyway, glint doesn't work either.
Could it be that I've missed a package when I installed the
X-server, perhaps?

Using S3 Virge with a Permedia II based card? I'm a bit puzzled.. Should =
this
really work??

Why does glint not work? Are you getting any error messages? But, anyway,=
 it
is known that glint doesn't work flawlessly with the CybervisionPPC. Use
following setup

Section "Device"
    Identifier    "Generic Video Card"
    Driver        "fbdev"
    Option        "NoInt10"
EndSection

If it then finds a device but still doesn't start up, you have to create =
your
own mode lines using fbset. For a 17" monitor it could look like this

Section "Monitor"
    Identifier    "Generic Monitor"
    HorizSync    30-65
    VertRefresh    50-90
    Option        "DPMS"

    Mode "1024x768"
        # D: 78.933 MHz, H: 60.162 kHz, V: 75.203 Hz
        DotClock 78.934
        HTimings 1024 1040 1136 1312
        VTimings 768 769 772 800
        Flags    "+HSync" "+VSync"
    EndMode
EndSection

You may compare you're current XF86Config with the attached XF86Config wh=
ich
should work for a CybervisionPPC (at least it worked on my machine, and s=
till
works..).

But you don't need most of the "Module" mumbo-jumbo, so go and comment it=
 out
(well, not everything of course, you have to consult some kind of
documentation..).

Hi again!

I've tried your XF86Config file and it still gives me problems.
I have attached the latest log file to this mail, please have a
look at it.

Sorry, I forgot, you have to create it first. It's not generated
automatically during installation, maybe I should file a
bug?

A correction to that: please don't do it the way I mentioned above, no ne=
ed to
produce redundancy. Just alter your config to point to /dev/amigamouse wh=
ich
already exists.. Sorry for that!!

Debian installation via network?

From: Timo S. <tim...@mb...> - 2003-02-01 23:39:06

Hello,
I have downloaded latest files listed on Apus-site to install DebianPPC.
Now i have managed to base install the system.
The problem is that how can I make network connection to work with "Debian
Configuration" when it asks for site to install from I only get error
"FAILED TO Fetch".... Something wicked happened...

While booting it gives some lib error.
I have tried two different NIC:s but both give same kind of an error.
What libs and how can I install those?



-TSokero

ps.
My system is
A1200 towered
BlizzardPPC 040/603e,166 ; 128MB ; noSCSI
BvisionPPC

Catweasel II
