<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" ><tr><td valign="top" style="font: inherit;">I'd like for it to be noted that the cards aren't working properly. The Open Firmware"BIOS" path is incomplete. This has been noted on the freebsd-x11 and xorg mailing lists along with the freebsd ppc mailing list. I have tried all options offered to me with none working. please let me knw which individuals that I need to file a bug report- or multiple bug reports to- on these mailing lists. Thank you. --- On Fri, 10/8/10, Peter Jeremy <peterjeremy@acm.org> wrote: <blockquote style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"> From: Peter Jeremy <peterjeremy@acm.org> Subject: Re: Xorg configuration fails on G4 Powermac To: "Super Biscuit" <super_bisquit@yahoo.com> Cc: freebsd-x11@freebsd.org, xorg@freedesktop.org Date: Friday, October 8, 2010, 2:07 AM <div class="plainMail">On 2010-Oct-07 06:03:10 -0700, Super Biscuit <<a ymailto="mailto:super_bisquit@yahoo.com" href="/mc/compose?to=super_bisquit@yahoo.com">super_bisquit@yahoo.com</a>> wrote: >I've tried the xorg.conf.new with both the options you suggested and Denise suggested.

Can I suggest adding a "Virtual 1280 1024" (sized appropriately) to each 'SubSection "Display"' of each 'Section "Screen"'. I ran into some wierd problems with multiple screens and found that the virtual size isn't correctly initialised unless it's explicitly specified. That said, I suspect that the underlying problem is: >(WW) VGA arbiter: cannot open kernel arbiter, no multi-card support ISTR, there is no longer any support for multiple video cards in FreeBSD - I believe Xorg7.4 relies on external functionality that FreeBSD doesn't have. Can you try removing one of the screen/device/monitor sections and see if it works? -- Peter Jeremy </div> -----Inline Attachment Follows----- <div class="plainMail">_______________________________________________ <a ymailto="mailto:xorg@lists.freedesktop.org" href="/mc/compose?to=xorg@lists.freedesktop.org">xorg@lists.freedesktop.org</a>: X.Org support Archives: <a href="http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg" target="_blank">http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg</a> Info: <a href="http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg" target="_blank">http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg</a> Your subscription address: <a ymailto="mailto:super_bisquit@yahoo.com" href="/mc/compose?to=super_bisquit@yahoo.com">super_bisquit@yahoo.com</a></div></blockquote></td></tr></table>
