Powerbook G4 12' and X11

[andrea]

You have to use the nv driver. They are buggy but you get a working X11.
Here is my XF86Config:

Section "Device"
        # no known options
        Identifier   "nVidia GeForce 5200"
        Driver       "nv"
        VendorName   "nVidia GeForce 5200"
        BoardName     "nVidia GeForce 5200"

        #BusID
EndSection

Section "Screen"
        Identifier   "Screen0"
        Device       "nVidia GeForce 5200"
        Monitor      "Monitor0"
        DefaultDepth    16

        Subsection "Display"
                Depth       16
                Modes   "1024x768"
        EndSubsection

EndSection

Hope this help.

Regards,
Andrea
