Hi,
Having tested the new DRM drivers on /i386, I wanted to give it a try on
my PPC Mac Mini. So it is now installed in 4.0_BETA2 but the DVI output is
really weird... The bottom half is blue (something like #36C) and the top
half is divided in two, both parts have the same console output.

Apart from that the console is working OK (keyboard input and command
output)... But I guess this is not expected :-)
The 3.1 install gave me a "normal" console.
It only happened when I booted the 4.0_BETA2 kernel (from 200705030002Z).
The way I installed and upgraded NetBSD is written here:
http://www.tumfatig.net/docs/00_tut/notes/netbsd_on_mac_mini.txt
The dmesg is here:
http://www.tumfatig.net/dmesg/Mac%20Mini/NetBSD%204.0_BETA2/dmesg.txt
The console looks good until I see some RADEON related text (in light-green
over white). According to my LCD, the resolution is 1024x768@60Hz.
So first, how can I get a decent console ?
Then, is the DRM radeon driver
(http://mail-index.netbsd.org/tech-x11/2007/03/19/0000.html) known to work ?
TIA,
Jo
