debian on ppc with apple flat screen
Has anyone successfully installed debian testing on something like this:
Apple G4
Apple Cinema Display (22 in this case, I think)
NVidia GeForce2
In particular, I'm looking for a working XF86Config file.
The PPC beta4 net-install nominally worked, once I had used YellowDog
Linux to get the partitioning right. Unfortunately, I didn't save the
YellowDog X config, since I didn't anticipate these problems.
First off, X was broken (startx reported 'no devices found') after the
install.
I then used dpkg-reconfigure on the xserver package, which didn't work
out all that well (the default values for video driver, mouse device,
and pci video device numbers were wrong, and I had to figure those
out). I now have it producing a messed up display (you know: all
fuzzy, looks several times too big, lots of horizontal lines, can
vaguely recognize parts of the display).
Thanks,
Kevin Murphy
