MOL now has preliminary X11 DGA support (in the BK/rsync tree).
This should make it easier to get fullscreen video working
(in particular if a flat-panel display is used).
I'm a bit uncertain how well XDGA works on the powerpc platform
though; I would appreciate some testing on various
hardware/XFree86 combinations.
On XF86 4.0.3 with an ATI Rage 128, the only video mode
that works properly is the one the X-server is using. Other modes
are reported but they are all quite borken.
To test the xdga support, add the following to
/etc/mol/molrc.video:
enable_xdga_video: yes
enable_console_video: no
enable_xvideo: no
# affects which DGA mode to be used at startup...
resolution: 1024/768/85
depth: 24
To exit DGA-mode, press Cmd+Cntrl+Space in MOL.
Cheers,
