OK, well that sounds a lot closer to my q605 than my 630 (which has a valkyrie).
I got a couple spare disk today at junk store so when they finish
formatting ...
i can try X on 605. I should remind us both though i am running unstable on
68k which besides being unstable is xorg7.2 and etch is 7.1. so some
of My problems
could be not your problems anyway which is why important both be tried...
you could also read about it with "dmesg", but it lies sometimes I
have found lately,
or maybe it is just confused. anyway it always got the name right at least.
BTW yes it is very handy to be able to log in remotely when /if your
display/ kb gets
messed up. So glad (free) macssh still works from old macos (at least
the 68k version
works for me from macos8.1), even though of course we all have debian on our
newer computers too, since it is so perfectly easy to install ...
sometimes feeling lazy
i would like to use an easy simple system but commericialism so sickens me but
at least the old macos is not commercial anymore...
