Using Knoppix-MiB-ppc pre10:
I got X to come up on my 350mhz iMac (I believe it's a Blueberry,
probably the educational bottom-end model at the time.) Boots fine,
autodetection seems to work fine, but startx fails with a line like:
" no device at PCI:0:16:0"
Doing a search, this seems like a common problem with the ATi Rage128.
I had to edit the XF86Config-4 file Device section to get X to appear.
The section ends with:
BusID ="PCI:"
???
This is a problem with lspci. The BusID line is normally given by a
processing of lspci output.
Can you send me the output of lspci AND lspci -n please?
I changed it to
BusID ="PCI:0:16:0"
ChipID = 0x524c
(0x524c being the chip ID reported by Apple System Profiler in OS X.)
After this, startx brings up the X background and the "no xsession"
error, which I believe is the correct behavior for this small (157M)
version?
Yes
Without the ChipID thah does not work? maybe hwdata and pci.ids needs an
update...
Would this indicate some kind of error writing the XF86Config file
during autodetection? The console prints quite a few messages during
boot explicitly identifying the graphics chip, so Knoppix-MiB-PPC must
be getting that part right.
Yes.
Please have a try removing BusID and ChipID line.
Hope this helps. Thank you and waiting for pre11!
Soon, when you send me lspci output. I can't leave this BusID incomplete ..
