Somehow your default keymap got changed. Check out
http://www.debian.org/ports/powerpc/keycodes
Well I kinda went nuts and did a clean install of 2.2r6 and X worked
right out of the gate.
Hmmm... Any specific reason to do that? It seems like a big step
backwards to me..
Me too, but (under woody) my keycodes were a mess, display seemed
off (of course it seems to be off now, too) and Chris pointer to
solve the keycodes problem could *not* be accessed on my second
machine (Mac OS X) although I could get it to the point of
www.debian.org/ports/powerpc ... don't know why
Since I could still work on the G4 while letting Debian install on
the 8600, I figured what the heck ...
Oh yeah, now I remember the main reason ... I just went ahead and
*did* reupgrade the 8600 from 2.2r6 to woody.
When I type
startx
it says
xinit: No such file or directory (errno 2): no server "X" in PATH
Use the -- option, or make sure that /usr/X11R6/bin is in your path
and that "X" is a program or a link to the right type of server
for your display. Possible server names include:
XFree 86 XFree86 displays
giving up.
xinit: No such file or directory (errno 2): unable to connect to X server
xinit: No such process (errno 3): server error.
