 |
|
I've finally emerged Gnome and Xorg, but after running Xorg -configure, i get an error:
(EE) R128(0): Cannot read V_BIOS (5)
What could it be, and how can i fix it? |

| I had the same with my TiBook G4/400. Apparently Xorg -configure likes to read info from the BIOS, which you don't have. Pick a working X.conf file adapted for your machine from someone on the list, or google around. Put that in and you're ready to go. |

I've taken the config from a 700Mhz ibook
But i think the 700mhz has a radeon card, and that i've got a rage card - so prehaps i'll only need to change something in the kernel...(took the config to that too) |
