Hi guys, I've just installed gentoo ppc on my ebook.
This is the last one model. that have radeon 9550 with 32MB.
I would know the refresh value of the screen, because of xorg.
I don't the vertical and horizontal refresh rate , but I know only it's 12" and the maximum resolution is 1024x748.
Someone have this one and can help me?
Thansk a lot
ibook g4 12" which refresh value?
Message
Even better, try Xorgautoconfig. It should set up X for you automatically on PPC.
Gentoo PPC FAQ: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-ppc-faq.xml
I think it does not matter, because LCD haven't got any vertical/horyzontal electrodes to refresh the screen.
On my 12" I have :

Xorgautoconfig does *not* ask you for any values. You need to emerge Xorgautoconfig and use that instead of whatever you were doing before.

Thanks a lot guys, you're fantastic team!!!
Otherwise, anyone purchased the last 2005 model of ibook g4 with radeon 9550 onboard , 12" lcd and can post the .config file for kernel gentoo-sources 2.6.14-r5 and pbbuttonsd?
I would be much more happy about my hard work to configure gentoo on this ibook.
Thansk a lot.
THANKS TO EVERYBODY

I've got a September 2005 12" iBook -- not sure if that's yours but it's got to be fairly similar.
I've put my configs up at http://catmur.co.uk/~ed/ibook/ -- tell me if I've got anything wrong.

The one thing I haven't got working yet is DRI on the Radeon 9550 -- I know it's possible, but I'm not messing around with Xorg snapshots and I don't want to try modular X until it's unmasked. I haven't got the external monitor working yet - hopefully the r300 driver should help with that.
I'm using the bcm43xx ebuild for wireless, but currently I can only associate once -- change network, or even go to sleep, and it fails to associate again. It's not too bad -- I just have to shut down when I take it anywhere.
Apparently the modem doesn't work. Not bothered.
I haven't tried bluetooth or the CD writer yet.
Apparently bootsplash doesn't work yet -- some sort of problem with klibc.
Everything else works great -- sleep, touchpad, ethernet, usb, firewire, hotkeys. For the touchpad I'm using appletouch in the kernel, synaptics in Xorg, and gpm with the evdev patch (to get corner and multi-finger mousebutton emulation).

Also: I haven't got the correct keymap working; I have a UK keyboard but the keysyms are in different places to the standard UK keyboard (e.g. the key to the left of Z has ` and ~ instead of \ and |). I haven't found a keymap that gives them the right keycodes but I'm not bothered, since my muscle memory is happier with the standard UK keysyms. (And the Apple UK keyboard doesn't have a # symbol -- kiss of death to a Python/bash hacker!) Confuses the heck out of anyone trying to use it, though... 
Most important fact: Fn+Backspace is Del. I'm still trying to work out if there's a key combination for Print Scrn/Sysrq.

Thanks!

Driver I change in "radeon" from "nv"
thansk to ecatmur
But now, I've this problem:
the trackpad seems to have several problem: when I touch it to turn the arrow left , or right , or up or down,
It returns always to central position, It's impossible to move all around the screen.
The trackpad have no problem in console, gpm is good.
I've heared in X there are some problems, so in may tutorial people guessed to use syanptic drivers ...
P.S. strange, If I use X trought an normal user the trackpad have no problem,, so my question have already an answer, because, such any other unix user, I will not use X from root
I change these values..

You want to use the synaptics touchpad driver. It's in monolithic X; you don't need to merge anything.
Take a look at my xorg.conf: http://catmur.co.uk/~ed/ibook/xorg.conf.

Can you test Xorgautoconfig-0.2.3 please? I just released a new version which should fix the nvidia/radeon mixup.
Thanks for pointing out the issue.

Hello again, I told you my trackpad had some problem in X whitout using synaptics drivers.
So I 've added these lines to my xorg.conf as ecatmur told me about it
this is my final Xorg.conf
but I've this error when I launch
startx
I also tried to emerge synaptics , but the ebuild is masked, and I remember ecatmur told me I've not to merge any other packet.
Thanks a lot
