I have tried several version of your packages and was unable to get
it working on my iBook.

I have made a configuration that seems to be working (the screen,
resolution and fbdev driver is loading without any error), but the
screen is erased and remains black.

The only X server working so far is the Xpmac one.

Also I would like to test the ati module that is supposed to
recognized the ATI Rage Mobility, but you haven't build it.

You'll find here the XFree86 output :


[root at pbagr /root]# XFree86

         If the server is older than 6-12 months, or if your card is newer
         than the above date, look for a newer version before reporting
         problems.  (see http://www.XFree86.Org/FAQ)
