Xpmac on Powerbook 1400c



Hello,

although Debian does not support the Powerbooks 1400 series, because of
their NUBUS technology, I installed it and get it running without problems.
But now I want to install X.
All efforts to get the Framebufferdevice running have taken into no effect.
Then I heard of Xpmac and that it is for Old World Macs.
But a Debian-package is not available. So I took the rpm from LinuxPPC Q4
and make a deb with alien. The I set some symlinks: One is:
/usr/bin/X11/Xpmac -> X
But when Itry to start X with startx, I get the following Error:
<--- snip --->
hostname: Host name lookup failure
WooWoo
Couldn't open RGB_DB '/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb'
Fatal server error:
ioctl 0x7667 failed: invalid argument
<--- snap --->

What can I do??


Greetz :-))
