I booted a iMac G3 with=20 FreeBSD FBSDG4S1 10.1-PRERELEASE FreeBSD 10.1-PRERELEASE #0 r270981: Wed = Sep 3 04:01:09 UTC 2014 = root@releng1.nyi.freebsd.org:/usr/obj/powerpc.powerpc/usr/src/sys/GENERIC = powerpc that had Xorg and xfce4 installed. I generated a xorg.conf file via Xorg = -configure. startxfce4 got (from /var/log/Xorg.0.log): ... [ 383.775] (II) R128: Driver for ATI Rage 128 chipsets: ... [ 383.791] (=3D=3D) R128(0): RGB weight 888 [ 383.791] (II) R128(0): Using 8 bits per RGB (8 bit DAC) [ 383.791] (**) R128(0): Using framebuffer device [ 383.791] (II) Loading sub module "fbdevhw" [ 383.791] (II) LoadModule: "fbdevhw" [ 383.794] (II) Loading /usr/local/lib/xorg/modules/libfbdevhw.so [ 383.796] (EE) LoadModule: Module fbdevhw does not have a = fbdevhwModuleData data object.

[ 383.797]=20 Fatal server error: [ 383.797] no screens found ... I'll note that there is no Chipset line in the file: no identification = of the specific Rage 128 variant. So far I've not found a xorg.conf = variant that makes the iMac G3 work for Xorg/xfce4. So as of yet I've not been able to test Justin Hibitts' recent = powerpc/powerpc64 changes on the only working G3 that I have access to. = (Actually the above boot was an attempt to see the before-change = behavior first: The FreeBSD predates his changes to stable/10.) (Justin's changes fixed Xorg/xfce4 issues that were happening on the = Dual Processor G4 PowerMacs that I have access to. The single-processor = G4 PowerMac that FreeBSD can boot and the G5 Powermacs continue to have = Xorg/xfce4 working before and after Justin's changes.) =3D=3D=3D Mark Millard markmi at dsl-only.net
