--=-tp2X8YSxpc3usQjqtNf6 Content-Type: text/plain Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hi, I was just reading the FreeBSD/ppc Project page at <http://www.freebsd.org/platforms/ppc.html>, and it seems people have had success running FreeBSD on a 700MHz eMac. I have a 1GHz eMac with a Radeon 7500 that I have been having problems with X.org on (on Linux -- haven't tried FreeBSD on it). Basically, it seems to think its VGA hardware is DVI hardware, and I have to manually add a ConnectorTable entry to get a picture on the screen: Option "ConnectorTable" "100,1,0,1,108,2,0,1" That hack works in Linux (I tried on Ubuntu and Gentoo), but I've never tried FreeBSD. Basically I'd like to know if anyone else has a Radeon eMac and they've had any success with running X.org on it. Many thanks, Jeremy. --=-tp2X8YSxpc3usQjqtNf6 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEABECAAYFAknyjGgACgkQvs6Qqs8TxBr+4ACeP6wWezY1oejdQXaWhz2WBfIZ 328AoPSQeZW4rQNf3fYyK12A6aCNQMJh =t9Hv -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-tp2X8YSxpc3usQjqtNf6--
