there is a kernel source called ppc-development-sources. please try that
may I close that bug?
well seeing as how his site that is supposed to clarify what this is, isn't responding..... I'm bouncing back to orginator with not enough info =) Jeedo, if your going to open a bug, all the info for the bug should be included. If the information isn't in the actual bug report itself, it doesn't exist. trance
This seems to have been fixed in benh-4 The site went down, here is the text of it: ------------------------------------------------- 9.Nov 2003 Turns out that wasn't the issue after all, what it is i have no idea. The only thing i know for sure it that 2.6 is _fucked_. These display errors appear and disappear at random. I did eliminate that display error in one configuration though, i cant seem to reproduce that though. Even if the display was working perfectly there are more issues * pbbuttonsd doesn't seem to work (changed kernel interface?) * mouse 2+3 button emu doesn't work Anyway, I'm tired of debugging the kernel. I'll try it again when it comes out of the betas. 8.Nov 2003 I forgot to disable the DRM stuff, It seems that with both "Character devices/Radeon" & "Character devices/Direct Rendering Manager" in the the kernel the "psycho video error" is produced. However with only "Character devices/Radeon" in a slight video distortion is produced. After this kernel compile finishes i will find out for sure what i suspect, that this problem can indeed be fixed by having neither of those in but using the "Character devices/ATI Rage 128" driver instead of the "ATI Radeon" driver. 8.Nov 2003 #gentoo-ppc irclog <Jeedo> the one marked 8 nov works slightly better <Jeedo> i narrowed down a problem in the kernel <Jeedo> radeon = foo_bar <Jeedo> but there are still some other problems <mkfort> well like I said my stuff is sort of working, just bad scan lines. I'm typing this now in Xchat in X on the ibookg4 <Jeedo> it seems that its a combonation of many bugs making one super-bug as far as i can tell <mkfort> well video has lots of different pieces <Jeedo> mkfort: those scan lines you refer to are present in the 8nov config <Jeedo> though i _cannot_ get mouse 2+3 button emu to work <mkfort> I havn't tried that <Jeedo> i tried a config from a guy who had the ibook 2.2 which claimed it worked <Jeedo> i compiled it, didnt change anything and it doesnt work <Jeedo> i have the ibook 2.3 <mkfort> I think the easiest thing at this point is to fix the X driver, because it is very close to working. I think the stuff in the kernel is going to be more difficult <Jeedo> there is nothing wrong with X <mkfort> I don't know what version I just have the one that came out last week <Jeedo> all the stuff we've seen so far i think is just the kernel messing with the video <mkfort> maybe the bug is in AGP <mkfort> that is also most likely <mkfort> X might be working just some bad AGP <Jeedo> i think that s it <mkfort> because this has 8x agp <puggy> lu_zero: hey <mkfort> I might try to hack on it later <Jeedo> i got rid of all these bugs in one config <Jeedo> the display was _normal_ <mkfort> I might try to take agp out my kernel like you said, because I don't think it's even supposed to use agp without dri but trying to initi alize it is borking everything <mkfort> but I'm tired of building kernels now ;) <Jeedo> me too <Jeedo> i might try it later <Jeedo> the problem is AGP though i think <mkfort> yeah, I'm going to try a non-agp kernel with this new X <Jeedo> and the radeon driver adds to that problem * mkfort nod <mkfort> keep your eye on the xfree-cvs changelog <mkfort> but yeah, I think it's a combination of X and buggy AGP code <mkfort> it has 8x agp whereas everything before was 4x at most <mkfort> I still love this machine though, once it is really optimized (which will probably take a year or two) it is going to really fly 7.Nov 2003 After some testing it seems i have isolated the "psycho video output" problem and that is the radeon driver. I will continue to debug it until i get it to work probably. i don't know C so I'll use the grunt approach, get that driver from other versions of linux-2.6betaX and insert them into my kernel tree, test, see if it works etc. -------------------------------------------------
2.6.1_rc1-benh1 [ppc-development-sources-2.6.1_rc1-r1] has solved this problem. radeon, radeonfb & drm works.
Thanks for the information. Closing this bug.
This should be closed.
