problems starting X
Here's a repost of the message I sent out whose
Subject: line disappeared.
I just installed Debian 2.2 on my powermac 7500. I am
having problems bringing up x. First, upon boot, the
system tries to start xdm, but it fails after the
screen flashes black three times. Next, if I simply
try startx as root I get a error message that I should
report this crash to the developers of X. The X
server that it installed was XF68_FBDev. For more
clues about my problem, I could post all the gory
details startx outputs. My monitor is a simple Apple
Multiscan 15".
One more question, I looked through the debian mailing
list archives and saw similar posts such as mine, but
no answers. I had to us the web-interface to view the
archives online. I would like to search off-line.
Could I download the debian powerpc archives? And if
so, from where?
Thanks,
wcrowshaw
