Hi Tilman, Thanks for giving it a go ! > Does xorg already work on powerpc? I've run 6.8.1 on - rev B iMac (Rage 3D Pro 215GP, accel disabled). - 700Mhz eMac (Nvidia GeForce2 MX) - 12" 1.33G G4 powerbook (Nvidia GeForce G5200) and Martin Minkus has run it on a 350MHz iMac, Rage 128VR. It hasn't worked on ATI Radeon-based machines yet: looks like a range check will have to be relaxed in the ofw syscons mmap code. So, out of luck with the miniMac until I get that tested. Plus I'm going to update to 6.8.2. > (BTW the usb Keyboard does not work inside DDB...) That is a relic of syscons: the keyboard isn't attached until USB is probed. I'm thinking of putting in a hack to allow the keyboard to be accessed by OpenFirmware until it is probed by h/w - this will allow breakpoints to be set during boot. >BTW, I put this information on the wiki >http://wikitest.freebsd.org/moin.cgi/powerpc Thankyou for that and also the multitude of packages that you've built :) later, Peter.
