Not able to start Xorg on Apple iBook G4 using FreeBSD 13.1

S

sedzcat

Hi guys,

I installed FreeBSD on an iBook G4 but when I start Xorg it goes back to the console. I don't know what's the problem with this. I have tried VESA drivers but gives me other errors like screen is not configured. Only scfb drivers gives me a more detailed prompt. Any one here could help me revive this machine?


Here is /var/log/Xorg.0.log:

Thanks in advance

Welcome.

According to Wikipedia, iBook G4s are equipped with an ATI Radeon GPU (9200 or 9550).

You need to load the corresponding driver (in this case: radeonkms), make sure to read the relevant section of the handbook:
docs.freebsd.org

Chapter 5. The X Window System

This chapter describes how to install and configure the X Window System providing a graphical environment
docs.freebsd.org docs.freebsd.org

P.S. You can use "code" tags rather than "icode" to avoid such very long posts.
 
FreeBSD powerpc architecture does not support drm-kmod... I tried to compile via ports but not successful and pkg binary doesn't have the package drm-kmod. Is there anything I can do in order to start Xorg? Btw mate-session says screen "cannot open display"

Thanks again

There is no package repository for PowerPC, nothing for 12.x or 13.x.

Keep in mind that PowerPC is a Tier 2 architecture.
 
The log looks OK, I don't see any errors in there (except for synaptics, but that should not be fatal). How exactly do you start Xorg?
 
I start it via slim but after I type the user and password it makes a reset, go back to the console and slim starts again. Via startx it refuses and go to console saying no screen found

What is missing there?
 
Look closely at the output from my Xorg.0.log, this line is missing in yours:
Code: 
[    21.118] (==) Using config directory: "/usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d"
 
Thanks, I put the xorg.conf in /usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ what am I doing wrong? Same problems..
 
Wrong place, that should have been /usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf. But you shouldn't create a xorg.conf at all any more. You only put some partial configuration snippets in /usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ if the auto-detection doesn't work (or picks the wrong settings/drivers).

There is no package repository for PowerPC, nothing for 12.x or 13.x.

Thank you for the reminder, I didn't notice that.

sedzcat If having to build all third-party software from source sounds problematic to you, you'll probably have an easier time on this machine with NetBSD or OpenBSD, which do have binary packages available for macppc.
