| 19:32.55 | kevind23|ssh | Anyone around? |
| 19:33.05 | Bor_Ed | no |
| 19:33.20 | kevind23|ssh | >.> |
| 19:33.39 | kevind23|ssh | this is an eMac (powerpc 6.4) that I'm running at school, and I'm trying to get X to work, to no avail |
| 19:34.17 | Bor_Ed | hmm, should work with fbdev, ati or radeon driver... in that order |
| 19:35.21 | kevind23|ssh | I tried all 3 but I couldn't get it to work; I've never tried Linux/X on a mac before |
| 19:35.39 | Bor_Ed | can you give lspci output? |
| 19:36.04 | kevind23|ssh | I can try |
| 19:37.56 | kevind23|ssh | 0000:10:10.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV350 [Radeon 9600] |
| 19:38.30 | Bor_Ed | that works with radeon driver... set colors in the xorg.conf to 15 bits |
| 19:39.08 | kevind23|ssh | how? >_>" |
| 19:39.31 | Bor_Ed | you've got some sort of xorg.conf in the sys now? |
| 19:39.41 | kevind23|ssh | yeah, somewhat |
| 19:40.13 | Bor_Ed | hmm, can you accept dcc? I've got rage128 but I think it's somewhat modifiable for your needs too |
| 19:40.16 | kevind23|ssh | Should I set the BusID to 0000:10:10.0 |
| 19:40.38 | kevind23|ssh | No, irc ports are blocked here so I'm using my computer at home over ssh |
| 19:40.52 | Bor_Ed | busid is probed if not given |
| 19:41.07 | kevind23|ssh | ah, k |
| 19:41.26 | Bor_Ed | a sec, I'll check the conf I've got |
| 19:41.33 | kevind23|ssh | What should I set the device Identifier to? |
| 19:41.43 | Bor_Ed | ^ |
| 19:42.05 | kevind23|ssh | Hm? |
| 19:42.36 | Bor_Ed | you've got lenny or older deb there? |
| 19:42.49 | kevind23|ssh | lenny, and set DefaultDepth to 15? |
| 19:42.59 | Bor_Ed | yup |
| 19:43.58 | kevind23|ssh | I'll try starting x |
| 19:44.15 | kevind23|ssh | Nope, blank screen |
| 19:44.24 | kevind23|ssh | :\ |
| 19:44.50 | Bor_Ed | as well as in section "Device", Driver to "radeon" and Option "UseFBDev" "true" |
| 19:45.32 | kevind23|ssh | Yeah, still doesn't work. |
| 19:45.50 | Bor_Ed | you should see some error messages in /var/log/Xorg.0.log too to give a hand in troubleshooting |
| 19:45.51 | kevind23|ssh | Hm, how do you transfer files over ssh? |
| 19:46.03 | Bor_Ed | scp does the work |
| 19:46.23 | kevind23|ssh | alright. what should I grep for in the log? |
| 19:48.20 | kevind23|ssh | okay |
| 19:48.25 | kevind23|ssh | http://kevind23.net/Xorg.log |
| 19:48.35 | kevind23|ssh | er, xorg.log |
| 19:49.20 | kevind23|ssh | and http://kevind23.net/xorg.conf |
| 19:49.37 | kevind23|ssh | hi |
| 19:52.18 | Bor_Ed | still here... busy 'elsewhere' too |
| 19:53.15 | Bor_Ed | (EE) RADEON(0): Value for Option "DepthBits" must be 16 or 24 |
| 19:53.28 | Bor_Ed | set the DefaultDepth to 16 |
| 19:54.08 | kevind23|ssh | Still not working. |
| 19:55.09 | Bor_Ed | try dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg and do reboot |
| 19:55.31 | kevind23|ssh | reboot of X or the machine? |
| 19:55.40 | Bor_Ed | machine |
| 19:55.55 | kevind23|ssh | k, brb |
| 19:58.54 | *** join/#debianppc kevind23|ssh (i=kevin@cpe-74-71-65-183.twcny.res.rr.com) |
| 19:58.59 | kevind23|ssh | Bor_Ed: Nope. |
| 19:59.09 | Bor_Ed | hrm... |
| 19:59.31 | kevind23|ssh | ill retransfer the log |
| 19:59.42 | Bor_Ed | comment out the Option "UseFBDev" "true" and try again or set it to false |
| 20:00.10 | kevind23|ssh | site files update |
| 20:00.58 | kevind23|ssh | nope, still dead |
| 20:01.16 | Bor_Ed | fyi, your server has MIME types a bit wrong... .conf and .log are binary files |
| 20:01.38 | kevind23|ssh | kmeh |
| 20:01.41 | kevind23|ssh | meh* |
| 20:01.44 | kevind23|ssh | at least it works |
| 20:02.11 | Bor_Ed | well, I can down 'em but download to local is a must |
| 20:05.23 | kevind23|ssh | well this is frustrating |
| 20:05.29 | kevind23|ssh | how can I show off Linux if X doesn't even wrok |
| 20:05.31 | kevind23|ssh | work |
| 20:06.20 | Bor_Ed | hmm, try fbdev driver without the use fbdev... I know it's frustrating and I'm too lazy to google for working xorg.conf currently |
| 20:07.24 | kevind23|ssh | OMG |
| 20:10.00 | kevind23|ssh | thank you ^^ |
| 20:10.23 | Bor_Ed | worked? :o |
| 20:11.48 | Bor_Ed | aww, the irony... sorry, it's getting late here and I need to be in the meeting at 7am :/ |
| 20:21.02 | kevind23|ssh | Heh, well, I'm headed out anyway. Thanks a lot |
