ati rage 128 and kernel config 2.6.3

[kdag]

hia,
after fighting for days to install gentoo i manage to compile few kernels now, happily using the network i emerged xfree but after 14hours non-stop i havent manage to get neither Xeasyconfig nor the other xconfig tools to create a safe way for opening the X sessions. The Error:

(EE) R128(0): Cannot Read V_BIOS (5)
(EE) R128(0): No DFP detected

i have search google and there where messages form 2001 about this but no solutions, I have search for others peoples config files for XFree86 but nothing for a Power Mac G4 - AGP Graphics riscPMG4agp :

please please any references, is there any other Xthing i could install and try??


best and thanks

I had the same error and this fixed it.

add the following line to the XF86Config-4

hei , hi

i did what you suggested but i had no luck, my guess is that i might be missing something in the kernel..thats why i ask here for anyone to share a working kernel config for this type of machine

best,
thankx

hi,
I had the same problem and i couldn`t use X till i read the manual at http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/desktop.xml . Shortly if you are a ppc user emerge xeasyconf then run Xeasyconf to configure your X.

I hope this will help you...
