Is it possible to run the XFree86 X server on a powermac 7300 if one
adds a video card to one of the PCI slots?
http://www.netbsd.org/Ports/macppc/x11.html
suggests that this is not possible, but I am looking for confirmation.
Here is the relevent excerpt:
Which models can run XFree86? (top)
Only models that have supported video cards with appropriate Open
Firmware initialization. In general, this means only recent models
(i.e. Open Firmware 3) or a supported video card (such as an ATI
Rage 128).
