A few months before i had installed netbsd 2 on a
second partition and used it in paralel with MacOs X
for evaluation.I had some difficult time to configure
X and that was the main reason i did not use it as the
Only o.s on the iBook.After reading through the list i
thought the X problems were solved so i decided to
install it for production use, MacOS X is much slower
on this machine (plus NetBSD is superb)!

At the moment i am running a current kernel and
userland (including X from xsrc) which i compiled on a
Debian system using the build.sh option "release".
Output of uname -a
NetBSD artemis 3.99.10 NetBSD 3.99.10 (amo)

Output of X -version
XFree86 Version 4.5.0
Release Date: 16 March 2005
X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0
Build Operating System:NetBSD/macppc 3.99.10 - The
NetBSD Foundation, Inc.

In XF86Config i have the necessary "iBookHacks" and
"NoInt10" options i am using r128 driver

Output of scanpci:
pci bus 0x0000 cardnum 0x0b function 0x00: vendor
0x106b device 0x0020
Apple Computer Inc. UniNorth AGP

pci bus 0x0000 cardnum 0x10 function 0x00: vendor
0x1002 device 0x4c46
ATI Technologies Inc Rage Mobility M3 AGP 2x

X dies with a core dump whenever i try to start it.

The part of initialing the int10 modules looks o.k in
the .log file:
(II) Loading sub module "int10"
(II) LoadModule: "int10"

The iBook is 2000 model with G3 @ 366Mhz and 320MB RAM

I would apreciate any kind of help on this, it looks
quite confusing to me that -probeonly
works fine and it never come up (wscons are enabled
and i use wskbd and wsmouse)
