Re: configuring X for Lime iMac (have tried many things...)
i have a successful debian install on my iMac...which alone is extremely
cool.
congrats
have tried both woody & potato with anXious. xf86config doesn't seem to
work.
Neither of these worked on my imac dv, so don't feel bad.
i got an RPM of Xautoconfig from the YellowDog dist, but >rpm/alien/librpm
complains that it will only work with major revs. i >don't understand the
error.
can you even use rpms in debian? i ask because i was under the immpression
only .debs were usable...
has anyone gotten X windows successfully configured on an iMac? could >you

config file is too cryptic for me to do by hand. have tried a >lot of
different things. any help at this point would be greatly >appreciated.
ok, since u have an imac, i assume you have a rage128 in it. This requires
a ChipID line in the xf86config file. Which version of x are you trying
anyway? If i was actually ever on my imac (on the net) then i'd be able to
give you the file... if you wait, i'll get it tommorow
