xorg.conf , in depth 16 is working.
you mean just what dexconf made when you installed xorg ??
yes , I use xorg.conf installed by debconf.
what do you mean,
"now" ?
"Now", mean nothing special . Only after I see that your xorg.conf
is "working", I tryed the debconf 's xorg.conf.

my problem in 16bit was maybe that (besides just tired). well if I were
not careful the Xserver only sees 300k of my 600k of vram and then
when I startx I see on the bottom half of the screen "leftovers" of macos
desktop. I think it is necessary to set the video to 640x480-16 in macos
or/and to use kernel options vmode=x, cmode=y (x and y are numbers
which are 10 and 8 for 800x600-8, but what is the first number for 640x480-16
i would have to experiment and it depends on the model what sync freq
is supported)
Put Defaut depth 16, - in debconf 's
xorg.conf, than startx , you will have
only half a screen-, stop it, change to depth 8, - in debconf 's xorg.conf,
than startx , will see errors, -ignore it, rechange to depth 16 (or better 15)
re startx, resolve issue.
It really is more important
to me to have the 800x600 screen space.
Sadly, only 640x480 is available . ( using packages from debian archive).
(some of the old pmacs with
framebuffer graphics i have have the same issue)
again with 605 i am not sure i wasn't just tired. I am trying again soon.
both my 650 and 630 have full real fpu. however i do have an extra pb520
I would like to try if you have '040lc built stuff to test --
I use only packages from debian archive... sorry
is there any way
i could get copy of that ? the opinion was to have it working ok you need
to rebuild everything that might have fpu calls...
of course i have to ask also, do your cursor keys work in X ? (for instance
get history in xterm with up arrow at shell prompt)
here is the same - no up arrow at shell prompt,

yes , uninplemented fpu instruction , sorry
well glad to see you are working on this.
my too.
would get a battery recycled
for the old 520 if i was not too discourage of having too much
stuff to build. also hear the pb was subject to comas in 2.4 falling so
it would be a test for 2.6...
For moment I try to install other p630, and just that is very "difficult" -for me -,
btw, what configuration of disk(s) ( on ide and/or scsi) do you use on p630 ?
and can you format a ide disk for p630 ?
Thank you ,
