XFree86 config for tibook 667
I'm very new to debian / XFree86 and this list....Hi everyone.
I'm trying to get debian and XFree86 to work on my Tibook.
I used the media less yaboot way to install woody then after quite a
bit of reading i figured out that X4.1 wouldn't work with my laptop's
video card. so i upgraded to testing. I then used the apt.conf file to
apt-get -t unstable install x-window-system.
I still can't get X to start up correctly, when i try to start x the
screen kinda starts to glow and gradually get brighter but it's just
giberish on the screen.I know thats not the most technical description
but its the best i can come up with.
anyway here is a copy of my XF86Config-4 and at the bottom is the end
of my xfree86 log.
