Hello, I also sent my problem to the -ppc list but couldn't come to a conclusion. I have a revB iMac G5(ppc64 - radeon based - not isight model) and I tried installing freebsd9.0-beta2. I am using packages compiled from the ports tree. I did X -configure as in the handbook, but when I tried X -config /root/xorg.conf.new I came up with this error: http://pastebin.com/v9qT8QU0 I also tried using/altering this configuration file: http://people.freebsd.org/~nwhitehorn/xorg.ibook.conf but the "Bus Error: 10" kept appearing, at different places every time. Of course I tried to rebuild world/kernel after original installation and portsnap fetch/extract (I have this problem for days now). This is my dmesg: http://pastebin.com/eKuGXjUq and this is my original xorg.conf.new: http://slexy.org/view/s2ONa1YAEC (the xorg configuration detected by Xorg -configure with UseFBDev False and NoAccel True). Tried also to use the "ati" driver instead of the radeon but with the same Bus Error: 10 message. This is the result of "pciconf -lvbc": http://slexy.org/view/s21BKt4641 I'm a freeBSD newbie. I had some succesful x86/x86_64 installations in the past with freebsd but I would like to try to "revive" my iMacG5 using freebsd. I would glad if you could direct me to find the problem. Thank you for your answers.
