System: Mac G4; Mac G5. Description of problem: The generic vided looks like someone got the byte or bit order backwards: the colour [eh] looks like reverse video; and the text pixles are locally scrambled (I can recognize that something is a letter, but I've no idea which one). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): What ever was shipped with FC 4 test 1 How reproducible: Everytime. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Use the generic video on the above macs.
Is this a console problem, or in X? Precisely what hardware (video card, CRT/LCD) is this seen with? Is it fixed by running the latest version of Xautoconfig?
Please file a bug in freedesktop.org bugzilla, so the other PPC/X developers are aware of the issue, and it will get fixed in upstream CVS and included in the 6.8.3 release. http://bugs.freedesktop.org in the "xorg" component Once you've filed the X.org report, please paste the URL here, so we can track the issue there, and discuss with Xorg PPC developers centrally. Once a fix gets checked into CVS on the stable branch, we'll review it for consideration in our rpm packaging in future builds as well. Thanks in advance.

The welcome screen (or whatever) comes up, but it is unusable. (I couldn't try X after a text installation yet. First I should backup MacOSX and repartition the disk) My hardware: iMac PowerPC G5, Nvidia GeForce FX 5200, (LCD 1440x900) Anaconda says: Probing for video card: NVIDIA GeForce FX (generic) Probing for monitor type: Unknown monitor ...

Does this still happen with the current kernel?
