Thread: aty128fb and 800*600 Max

-

as side note, couldn't find answers these two, except imac, , then, didn't seem apply.
------
had mac os 9 , os x 10.3.9 "panther" on hard drive, installed xubuntu 9.04 on (formatting on hda, made half of hard disk mac re-install). upon install, had use "live video=ofonly", thinking it'd fix why monitor shut down.

when boot xubuntu, don't see splash, see @ first saying how aty128fb (figuring that's video card) has "invalid rom contents", or such (it goes quick me see of says). after that, monitor generates bouncing red box saying "out of range" minute or two, before going 800px*600px screen. runs okay, , set "driver" stat in xorg.conf "r128", still nothing better 800px*600px@60hz.

there else fix this? updating 9.10 fix this?

have power mac g4 agp ati rage 128 (pro?) 16mb vram. when had panther running, use 1280px*1024px res, i'm not sure if it'll work xubuntu.

you need adapt xorg.conf file. file found in /etc/x11.

code:
sudo mv /etc/x11/xorg.conf /etc/x11/xorg.conf.bak
(we gave real conf file backup name later)

code:
sudo nano /etc/x11/xorg.conf
now enter editor, paste following lines in there, ctrl-x exit , "y" write file.

restart x:

code:
sudo gdm restart
the new xorg.conf file:

code:
section "serverlayout"    identifier     "x.org configured"    screen      0  "screen0" 0 0    inputdevice    "mouse0" "corepointer"    inputdevice    "keyboard0" "corekeyboard" endsection  section "files" fontpath "/usr/share/fonts/x11/misc" fontpath "/usr/share/fonts/x11/100dpi" fontpath "/usr/share/fonts/x11/75dpi" fontpath "/usr/share/fonts/x11/type1" # paths defoma fonts fontpath "/var/lib//defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/truetype" fontpath "/var/lib//defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/cid" endsection  section "module"    load  "record"    load  "glx"    load  "extmod"    load  "xtrap"    load  "glcore"    load  "dri"    load  "dbe" endsection  section "inputdevice"    identifier  "keyboard0"    driver      "kbd" endsection  section "inputdevice"    identifier  "mouse0"    driver      "mouse"    option       "protocol" "auto"    option       "device" "/dev/input/mice"    option       "zaxismapping" "4 5 6 7" endsection  section "monitor"    identifier   "monitor0"    vendorname   "monitor vendor"    modelname    "monitor model"    horizsync       30 - 121    vertrefresh     48 - 160 endsection   endsection  section "device"    identifier  "card0"    driver      "ati"    vendorname  "ati technologies inc"    boardname   "rage 128 pf/pro agp 4x tmds"    busid       "pci:0:16:0" endsection  section "screen"    identifier "screen0"    device     "card0"    monitor    "monitor0"    subsection "display"       viewport   0 0       depth     24    endsubsection endsection
