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?
