hi !
i have compiled xfree 4.0.1 with the latest xfree86-pmac tree from
linuxppc.org. as kernel i use the latest pmac-stable and pmac-devel from
linuxcare. when starting the x-server i get a dark screen, final beep and
- after 180 seconds - the system reboots (kernel panic?).
the ati driver doesn't recognize the real amount of videoram, even if i
use the 'VideoRam'-option. i have attached the some parts of my
XF86Config.0.log file (the system i use at the moment is really bad - no
cut'n paste).
does anyone know how to solve this problem ?
thank you very much in advance !

Boot Linux using yaboot and you should be fine.

See atimach64ppc.c and remove the gratituous videoram=2048 assignment
right after the videoram was set from the fb_fix data. In case it's still
in there, I've not rsynced in a while but forgot to tell Ani about that
one.
