Hi. I've got an ISO for quick testing of anaconda's X
configuration
setup available that's a little bit smaller than a full tree. All you
should have to do is download the ISO, burn it to a CD, boot and see
if
X starts up. Then, you can reboot and go back to your normal doings.
Note that this is entirely non-destructive. So you can even run it if
you are running OS X. *ANY* results would be helpful. Please be sure
to include what you see happen as well as what type of hardware you're
using (cpu, video, monitor).
The iso is located at
http://people.redhat.com/~katzj/mac-x-test.iso.
The md5sum is 34234b3cdf2d89e4e94031a50f819285
PowerBook1,1 (Rage 128): Works fine.
PowerBook5,3 (Radeon 9600): Kills machine hard. The kernel has enabled
dynamic clocks and unless X also does so, I see this...
(II) RADEON(0): Dynamic Clock Scaling Disabled
(WW) RADEON(0): Direct rendering not yet supported on Radeon 9500 and newer cards
(EE) RADEON(0): Idle timed out, resetting engine...
(EE) RADEON(0): Idle timed out, resetting engine...
... and then it dies.
Ben, is this expected behaviour if the kernel and X disagree about the
use of dynamic clocks? Is this addressed by one of the patches you have
outstanding at
http://gate.crashing.org/~benh/xorg/ ?
The second problem with the PB5,3 is that rhpl explicitly specifies
800x600 instead of letting X honour the DDC information. I can see that
rhpl has code to parse this, but it doesn't seem to be doing so...
(II) RADEON(0): Supported additional Video Mode:
(II) RADEON(0): clock: 96.2 MHz Image Size: 367 x 230 mm

(II) RADEON(0): Panel size found from DDC: 1440x900
(II) RADEON(0): Valid Mode from Detailed timing table: 1440x900
This patch to the rhpl-generated XConfig.test makes it work:
