Hi That sounds, like an invalid display configuration. Check the settings of your display (and may be resolution, hsync and vsync). I don't think, that an update to X 4.2.0 would solve the problem...

I have equivalent problem Hello, Personaly I received an old Powerbook G3 at work (year 1999 or after) Installation of SuSE 7.3PPC without problems (or almost). But X-server config with SAX2: problems. Here follows Xfree86.log.o, sorry if it is long: The ATI Rage 128 chipsets: ATI Rage 128 RE (PCI) is well detected. ... but it ends up with: Fatal server error: no screens found ... and no xserver (see end of script), not even at 600x400 resolution: nothing. Does anybody knows how to solve the problem I'll look at ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/ppc/supplementary/X/suse73/4.2.0/ http://sdb.suse.de/en/sdb/html/olh_ppc_71_xf420.html tomorrow ... when I go to work.

RE: [suse-ppc] SuSEppc 7.3 on iBook: no X...Solved/triple boot
by Carney, Kevin 30 Jan '02

30 Jan '02

>Question: does anyone use MacOS9.2 (Classic) + MacOSX + SuSE Linux on a G3? Alain, On my powerbook I use yaboot/ybin to quintuple-boot between MacOS9/MacOSX/Suse7.3/YellowDogLinux2.1/NetBSD. You can get yaboot/ybin at http://www.penguinppc.org/projects/yaboot/ (they are distributed together now). It is quick and easy to install following the directions on the site (I installed from sources and it took only about a minute or two.) Suse also uses the yaboot bootloader, but uses lilo to generate a chrp-script ("boot-script," this lets you select between Linux and MacOS with the space bar at startup.) Ybin, however, generates a chrp-script that provides a simple dual/triple boot menu at startup, based on the options in the file /etc/yaboot.conf. Note, however, that booting this way is probably not covered by suse's installation support. Here is a copy of my /etc/yaboot.conf, in case you decide to try this: ---start file--- # ybin options boot=/dev/hda11 macos=/dev/hda9 macosx=/dev/hda10 bsd=/dev/hda15 magicboot=/usr/local/lib/yaboot/ofboot delay=10 defaultos=macosx enablecdboot # yaboot options init-message="\nWelcome to Linux\n\n" timeout=50 default=suse # yaboot images image=/boot/vmlinux partition=13 label=suse root=/dev/hda13 image=/boot/vmlinux partition=14 label=yellowdog root=/dev/hda14 ---end file--- !!! also remember to run the program "ybin" every time you edit yaboot.conf. -Kevin Carney <carneykj(a)reading-recovery.org> p.s.-Great job SuSe!! Starting with this latest version, your distro is by far my favorite ppc distro. Thanks for continuing to support this platform.

no video synch with X11
by Yvon Thoraval 29 Jan '02

29 Jan '02

I've tried to install suse 7.3 on a ppc9500, yast2 ran ok except i was unable to find a video synch for x11. the test under yast2 didn't show a correct image. The screen complain about input level being too high. the screen i have is a formac proniton 17/300. the popup menu under yast2 is jumping from pronition 17/200 to 17/600. i've tried both without success. Even i've forced the number given by the screen : HF : 60.02 KHZ VF : 75.00 HZ (screen is VESA 1024X768) i don't know why vesa is appearing here. Then i was only able to log using tty1 ... when atempting to log using x11 the screen was splashed in two, lower part being black upper part being also split in two and the the login window being drawn more than once. what could i do ? -- Yvon Thoraval

Auto poweron with PPC SuSE
by Trevor Jennings 28 Jan '02

28 Jan '02

Hello, I am running PPC version of SuSE7.1 on a G4 powermac and was wondering if anyone would know of a way to control the bios on the powermac so when the power is interupted, the machine will just restart automatically when power is returned? I have a PDU power cycling unit hooked up to the G4, so when/if the machine crashes, I can cycle the power remotely. Unfortunately at this moment when the power is turned off on the machine, then turned back on, the machine will not startup unless the power button is pressed :( Also, the G4 has been experiencing intermittent lockups during the past week (Machine has been up and running for several months). All it is running that is being used is mysql. My guess is that the lockups are probably related to memory chip problems...any ideas?

SuSE PPC 64 ?
by John Pagonis 27 Jan '02

27 Jan '02

There is a dir in the ftp site implying some sort of 64bit PPC Linux any ideas what is going on? I know some PowerPC CPUs can be switched to 64bit modes is this what is going on here ? btw any chance of installing SuSE PPC from an iso of the web or what ? Really SuSE should release these images otherwise they'll make me believe they lost the plot of OSS In my case i'd like to buy the package anyway as i do with for my other playforms but I'm stuburn now. This is not right any ideas where the iso images are cheers and sorry for the rantings ;-) -- John

Mac64 :-(
by Herouth Maoz 26 Jan '02

26 Jan '02

Now that I managed to get Suse 7.3 sort-of-running with an older kernel (2.4.2), I can't set up XFree86 4 - it only allows me to set up 3, and I swear I had 4 working perfectly well in Suse 7.0. I don't know if this new problem is because of 7.3, or because of the old kernel. My card is a Mach64, and looking at older list messages I saw that there are some problems with it since 7.1, although I didn't manage to find any solutions. my /proc/fb says: 0 ATY Mach64 1 IMS TT (TVP) (The second card is not in use, since it used to have problems under Linux, and as soon as I get a second ethernet card, I'll need the extra PCI slot, so using that card is the less preferred option). If I use "sax2 -a" the "BoardName" line in the resulting is "3D Rage I/II 215GT". The machine is oldworld, and I pass display parameters for the kernel: video=atyfb:vmode:10,cmode:24 Dmesg indicates, in the PCI section: PCI: Cannot allocate resource region 1 of device 00:11.0 got res[10000000:10000fff] for resource 2 of ATI technologies Inc 3D Rage I/II 215GT [Mach64 GT]. I hope any of this information is relevant, and that someone here can tip me off on how to make X v. 4 work. Herouth -- EMAIL: herouth(a)netvision.net.il HOME PAGE: http://www.herouth.f2s.com/

Unable to install - kernel freezes.
by Herouth Maoz 24 Jan '02

24 Jan '02

I am in a tangle... I am trying to install 7.3 which finally arrived two days ago. I want to do a fresh installation, but the computer used to run 7.0 without many problems. It is an old world computer - an old PowerBase 180 with a PowerLogix G3 card, which I install using an external CD-R drive, as the internal one seems to have gone in the way of old CD-Roms... Anyway, I boot into MacOS, get into the BootX app, select the ramdisk image, select a kernel - and it goes into linux, but stops the boot process after finding the CD-R drive. It says something like "CD-Rom drive 3.2", and stops working. That's the basic problem. To add a problem to my problems, however, I booted it once in this way, but selected by mistake the old vmlinux from the 7.0 system. This time it booted well and started the installation process - including formatting my root partition (as I said, I wanted a fresh installation). However, when it was time to boot into the new system and continuing with CD-2, it failed. It went into linuxrc, and then the screen went blank, and nothing further happened, not even a disk spin. So, currently I'm in a state where I don't have a system at all (except MacOS, which doesn't help me, I use this server mainly for PHP development). I find it hard to believe that the 2.4 kernel doesn't support a CD-R that was supported by 2.2. Remember, although this machine is rather odd (Mac clone, CPU card, external CD-R), this whole shebang worked in the past.
