Jeremy,
Unfortunately, the test X CD failed on my PowerMac G4 with an I/O
error from mini-wm.
PowerMac 3,3 (65, PowerMac G4 AGP Graphics)
Probing for video card: ATI Radeon 9200
Probing for monitor type: StudioDsply1
Probing for mouse type: Generic - 3 button mouse (PS/2)
Attempting to start native X server
Waiting for X server to start ... log located in /tmp/x.log
1...2...3...4...5 X server started successfully
mini-wm: Fatal IO Error 104 (Connection reset by peer) on X server :1.0.
It might be helpful to note that the Radeon 9200 is a PCI card.
There is no card in the AGP slot. During boot, I get the message
PCI: Cannot allocate resource region 1 of device 0001:11:02.0
which is the PCI address of the Radeon 9200. However, the message
does not stop the boot process.
Ubuntu works (with X on a nearly identical machine with the same
card). It also give the "Cannot allocate resource region 1 message).
Fedora Core release 3.9.2 (Pre-FC4)/kernel 2.6.11-1.1286_FC4, which I
am currently running on the machine, fails with the same message as
the X CD.
Previously, I had been running FC3 and the installation process
correctly put up X graphics, but on reboot the X server failed. I
moved off of FC3 explicitly to get LVM2 but was sad to find that one
gets a message saying you cannot configure logical volumes without a
graphics interface! A long way of saying I am REALLY looking forward
to having a working X on FC4 with the Radeon card.
Best of luck with your work!
BTW, I has not filed a bugzilla report against FC4 with the mini-wm
message. Should I do that (assuming I don't find one already filed)
or are you fielding the most recent problems via this forum?
/Mike
