Hi Well, as it seems, the Suse 7 is no longer a developer release, it has now turned beta ;-) After installation on an iMac Rev. B, there are some questions left. Does anyone have an idea which framebuffer settings work for the iMac? Apparently, it only works in 1024*768-75 with 256 colors, every other setting makes the screen go black. Under MacOS, the following resolutions are supported: 640*480-117, 800*600-95 and 1024*768-75, color range from 256 to 16,7m for every resolution. So why does true color in 1024*768 not work????? btw. I also tried it with Xpmac, but this didn't do either at first attempts. I did not test it through here.... Sax2 reports me to find to mouse devices. This is fine, the second is a Wacom Graphire though, which does not give any meaningful input with the mouse driver. Sax reports the devices on /dev/pointer0 and /dev/pointer1.. How do I find out which one is the mouse and which the tablet???? thanx Serge

It does work, the modelines for the iMacs are wrong. Only 1024x768 works fine. I guess there is a bug somewhere in the driver. Try xvidtune and try to adjust the screen position. The brightness is changed and not the position. Use xsfbswitch from the suse menu, that should work. You can adjust the Defaultcolordepth in /etc/XF86Config if that doesnt work.

/dev/pointer? is a symlink to the input device. It could be /dev/input/mice for a generic input device. Or you can use /dev/input/mouse*. I never used the mouse* links. Gruss Olaf -- $ man clone BUGS Main feature not yet implemented...
