Unable to setup Power Mac G4 Cube running with Lucid

**Ra.One** · 24-01-2012

I have installed Lucid on Power Mac G4 Cube. I am looking to figure out how to configure video card? currently I am running in the low graphics mode. I am having 17" Studio Display and it is having ATI Rage 128 Pro graphics card. I went into xorg.conf file and there was nothing. Can you help me out if you are having any useful information to fix the matter.

You should execute below mentioned code and see whether it is working or not.

Well I am suspecting that you not load framebuffer device.

Code:

  Section "Device"
    Identifier "Configured Video Device"
        BusID   "PCI:0:16:0"
        Driver  "ati"
        Option "UseFBDevice" "false"
        Option "NoInt10" "true"
        EndSection

**CassandraD** · 24-01-2012

You have to check whether modelines in the monitor section are correct.

Code:

cvt 1280 1024
cvt 1024 768
cvt 800 600
cvt 640 480

**robot.txt** · 24-01-2012

I wanted to tell you that Xorg in Lucid is quite difficult for PPC. You should try with below mentioned device section device.

Code:

Section "Device"
Identifier    "Configured Video Device"
Driver        "ati"
BusID        "PCI:0:16:0"
Option        "PanelWidth"    "1024"
Option        "PanelHeight"    "768"
Option        "UseFBDev"    "true"
Option        "NoInt10"    "true"
EndSection
