System: NetBSD milano 1.5V NetBSD 1.5V (GENERIC) #1: Sun May 20 20:43:38 JST 2001 root@nazuha:/usr/src/sys/arch/macppc/compile/GENERIC macppc
Architecture: powerpc
Machine: macppc
>Description:
With the machine:
PowerMac G4/AGP/350 with included video card
ATI Technologies Rage Fury MAXX AGP 4x (TMDS)
ofb0: 1152 x 870, 8bpp,
X Window System use 1280 x 1024 screen, but actual screen
is 1152 x 870, resulting VRAM mapping is wrong.
>How-To-Repeat:
Starting X Window System with minimum setup after installation
of 20010323 snapshot (1.5S) on this particular machine,
gives unorganized screen.
--------------------------
(5/6) of screen showing sliced image of X
and I could read following text at bottom,
OSVenderInit
ukbd_enable: ukbd0: bad call on=1
kbd_type = 1
--------------------------
I could halt the machine, and it will leave the string
syncing disks... 2 done
EXIT called ok
0 >
--------------------------
>Fix:
Not really known, but some work arround is here:
Before booting NetBSD, at OF level, I can tweak this problem.
0 > dev screen
0 > show-modes
will tell
10 1152 x 870 @75Hz CURRENT
0 > 8 set-mode
will change to
8 1280 x 1024 @75Hz
0 > boot
Then everything is OK except some portion of the X Window
screen is out of physical screen and could not read bottom
part.
