xorg.log
X is unable to start with "radeon" driver on my PowerMac G5, 7,3 with the
ultimate error "(EE) No devices detected.". I am curious because Xorg.0.log and
dmesg do not show obrious errorIMHO.
Forcing "fbdev" driver via the configfile works and X starts.
# cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/05-driver.conf
Section "Device"
Identifier "Radeon"
Driver "radeon"
#Option "DRI" "2"
#Option "AccelMethod" "exa"
EndSection
# inxi -b
Resuming in non X mode: glxinfo not found. For package install advice run: inxi
