  • XOrg issues with Rage 128 Ultra graphics: No screens found.

    From Alex McKeever@21:1/5 to All on Mon Oct 18 19:50:01 2021

    Essentially, my screen can be found (I have an iMac G3 in which I’ve ran Sid on)… however it can’t find any usable configurations, and manually generating an XOrg configuration (editing it to give certain options) doesn’t help. Is this an XOrg,
    driver, or kernel issue?

    I’d like to know as this doesn’t just apply to Debian Ports, but any modern Linux distribution such as VoidPPC and Adelie Linux.

    We have had this discussion before, it's an issue with the missing EDID binary.

    See:

    https://lists.debian.org/debian-powerpc/2020/04/msg00001.html https://lists.debian.org/debian-powerpc/2021/02/msg00108.html

    I haven't had the time to work on this issue yet.
