I finally got nouveau (from git) working on my PowerBook G4 12".
Now, my next step is to get it to drive my TV. I have it connected via
Apple's "mini-DVI to Video Adapter", which comes with both an
S-video
and a composite output.
When I start X, `xrandr' tells me:
% xrandr
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1024 x 768, maximum 1360 x 1360
LVDS-0 connected 1024x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
245mm x 184mm
1024x768 60.0*+
800x600 60.3
640x480 59.9
DVI-I-0 connected 1024x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 1mm
x 257mm
1360x768 59.8
1152x864 60.0
1024x768 60.0*
800x600 60.3
640x480 59.9
680x384 119.6 119.9
576x432 120.1
512x384 120.0
400x300 120.6
320x240 120.1
%
so it appears that this video adapter is detected as a sort of DVI
screen. And indeed, my TV (which is connected via the `composite'
output if it matters) does show something ;-), but not something
meaningful :-(. If I try to switch to some other mode e.g. with
xrandr --output DVI-I-0 --mode 640x480
the meaningless output changes, but stays mostly meaningless (sometimes
I can recognize some shapes, which indicate clearly that the "garbage"
is
actually representing the screen, just probably not with the right
frequency/...).
Does anybody have some idea if I can get it to work with the current
code, if so how, and if not, how I can help make it work?
