Debian on an iBook - colourdepth



    Hi!


I just installed Debian on my shining new iBook - as soon as I
(re)discovered the initrd=-option, the install went smooooooth.

I've only got one major outstanding issue:

I can only start X with 8-bit colourdepth, and the virtual screen is
automatically sized 800x5222 (or there about).

I've set the vyres with fbset to 600, and I've put "virtual 800 600"
in the XF86Config, but I still get this very, very tall virtual
screen.

Changing the depth with fbset doesn't make X accept anything but 8-bit
colourdepth.

(I'm using benh's 2.2.17pre9-ben1 kernel).

What's the remedy? Compiling XFree4?


Another thing: I've made a (functional) mac-dk-latin1.kmap (since
there wasn't a Danish keymap in the distribution) - who should I send
it to?


Big thanks to everybody working on the PowerPC-part of Debian!


  Best wishes,
