Re: iMac G4- etch install iso - xorg

Hello,

I don't think that an X11 server is linked to magic. I hope there are logical reasons why a direct installation won't run and that I don't depend on superstition, in need to install sarge first.

After I changed the video card driver from "nv" to "fbdev" the xorg starts and doesn't break in the middle. But the display is compressed and 1/3 of the TFT area is of the kind of black emptiness. Once again, the changes in xorg.conf had to be done via a text editor. dpkg-reconfigure doesn't write the changes to the file.

I know that the broken Ubuntu G4 Xorg support (unrelated with the big X11 crush?) might be due to kernel problems, because the Ubuntu Xorg X11 server worked with a homebrew stable 2.6.17.11 kernel from ppckernel.org but NOT with the 2.6.15 flavor of Ubuntu. Might this be the same problem here, too?

Ralf
