I'd like for it to be noted that the cards aren't working properly. The Ope= n Firmware"BIOS" path is incomplete. This has been noted on the freebsd-x11= and xorg mailing lists along with the freebsd ppc mailing list.=20 I have tried all options offered to me with none working. please let me knw which individuals that I need to file a bug report- or mu= ltiple bug reports to- on these mailing lists. Thank you. --- On Fri, 10/8/10, Peter Jeremy <peterjeremy@acm.org> wrote: From: Peter Jeremy <peterjeremy@acm.org> Subject: Re: Xorg configuration fails on G4 Powermac To: "Super Biscuit" <super_bisquit@yahoo.com> Cc: freebsd-x11@freebsd.org, xorg@freedesktop.org Date: Friday, October 8, 2010, 2:07 AM On 2010-Oct-07 06:03:10 -0700, Super Biscuit <super_bisquit@yahoo.com> wrot= e: >I've tried the xorg.conf.new with both the options you suggested and Denis= e suggested.

That said, I suspect that the underlying problem is: >(WW) VGA arbiter: cannot open kernel arbiter, no multi-card support ISTR, there is no longer any support for multiple video cards in FreeBSD - I believe Xorg7.4 relies on external functionality that FreeBSD doesn't have.=A0 Can you try removing one of the screen/device/monitor sections and see if it works? --=20 Peter Jeremy -----Inline Attachment Follows----- _______________________________________________ xorg@lists.freedesktop.org: X.Org support Archives: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg Info: http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg Your subscription address: super_bisquit@yahoo.com=0A=0A=0A
