Following up on message
http://lists.linuxppc.org/listarcs/linuxppc-user/200011/msg00346.html ,
I had a look through the linuxppc-dev mailing list, and found a few
patches to controlfb. I collected a few and made them fit in (from
messages in September).
XFree86-4.0.1 base: xfree86-pmac tree off penguinppc (today) on top of
stock 4.0.1 .
the result is that I get Xwin (yay!), if only in 15bpp (no big problem)
-- I get various error messages if I mod the XF86Config to pick up a
smaller screen area and nigher depth. (Maybe the problem is that an
1152x870 virtual framebuffer is always allocated?). In 8bpp, I get a
very wrong picture (too green, two images side by side on top half
...).
Anyway, enclosed the patches that - at least - made me see Xwin, on
2.2.18pre17-ben1 kernel straight off penguinppc.
Cheers
Jens
