How did you get XFree-4.1.99-1b installed on LinuxPPC 2000 Q4 ?...
I have tried the RPMS. They tell me I need GLIBC_2.2 ... So I went and got
glibc_2.2.4 ... Glibc told me it had several conflicts with other versions
of glibc. When I did a force install on it, it broke my linux with an error
"Fatal: kernel too old" I reloaded the older glibc from the rpms on the CD.
So off I went to get the 2.4 kernel. When I load the 2.4 kernel, it freezes
on a message that the IDE driver failed.
The 2.4 kernel I tried was from
/users/kfukui/kernel-2.4.x-Ben/kernel-UNI-CPU
Also, I looked at your info on running XFree with more then 8 bits. Just
thought the 3400 users who still use the default installation can change
/etc/X11/xdm/Xservers to add "-depth 16" before the :0 display number. I'm
not sure if this will work with 4.1 as seen above ;)
