iMac sounder 7 test

[Paul Cooper]

Hi,

Just tested the sounder 7 install on a 17'' iMac. Everything went
smoothly with the install until the system starts and X kicks in.

It seems the X config is wrong and after segfaulting and restarting a
couple of times X gets shut down and a blue screen with a Yes / No
dialog appears. I *think* it's a Yes / No dialog but unfortunately the
characters are scrambled (unicode issue?). After a few more unreadable
dialogs, some just info + OK, others Yes / No, eventually returned to
console. After looking at the XF86Config-4 file noticed it had chosen
the fbdev driver so I tried switching to the nv driver (the iMac has a
GeForce 4 MX I think). This worked but only for 640x480 - the 17" iMac
has 1440x900 resolution.

I've run out of time to play with this for now but if someone wants to
come over and investigate more (Scott?) then feel free email me.

Paul
