Double display with Debian 5.0 and iBook g3 Dual USB

Fotson · 01-19-2010, 10:51 AM

Hey all,

I've been getting a weird display on my Mac iBook G3 power PC W/ Dual USB.
This has happened on unbuntu 9.0 PPC and Debian 5.0 PPC. Both are standard installed fully patched. Attached is a picture of the display as you can see the right 2 inches is black and 2 inches from the bottom is where the display start over again. If I take a screen grab from the Laptop itself i get a normal screen output.

Any help would be great.

Thanks Fots

i dont see how usb would affect this ?

maybe someone can help if you post your xorg.conf file ?

Dual USB was the type of iBook, I made changes to my xorg.conf file and its working correctly now. When I hook the iBook back up to the net I'll upload my xorg.conf file as a soultion

Here's the xorg.conf output.

^ nice you got it working.

by and by, what does usb mean (ultra-slim-book ?)

It means "Universal Serial Bus" lol It was one of the big selling points. I guess it was one of the first iBooks with 2 usb ports.

how do i get the info from your attached file into my conf file? copy and paste? or just have it overwrite mine if i can find it?

schneidz · 08-03-2010, 01:14 PM

in fedora the file would be /etc/X11/xorg.conf.

are you having the same problem as the original poster ?

pressurehead · 08-03-2010, 08:38 PM

Yes! The exact same problem. With Debian lenny on the same exact type of laptop. An ibook g3 dual usb. I just downloaded the file to use when i get home. No internet there.
