Hey everybody! I just installed sarge on my PowerBookG4 and I am having issues starting gdm. I am new to the specifics of the configuration of X and I don't know where to start. During installation the PB complained about not being able to find an X server, but I don't know what the means.
If I remember correctly, I had to install XFree86 separately from KDE on my G4/350 before kdm (KDE's equivalent to gdm) would start. Run 'aptitude' or your preferred method for browsing/installing packages, and install AT LEAST
xserver-xfree86 xserver-common (I'm not sure if this is the name or if it's xfree86-common) xfonts-75dpi xfonts-100dpiAnyway, just look for things like xserver, xfree86, and xfonts, and install until you can run gdm
HTH. -Dan
When gdm starts it tells me there is an error and asks if I would like to see the output, it also says 'Caught signal 11'... any help? Thanks as always, anything is appreciated!!
