issue w/fresh install of Sarge on PPC and 17" Apple Studio Display CRT



Hi all,

Thanks for help previously regarding the PowerEdge. The basic things are set up again, cleanly, and I'm exploring.

I went ahead and decided to install Sarge on an old Blue & White 350Mhz G3 at home. The install went fine, but when it was all over and I was brought to a login I was given a text prompt and the screen goes to black at regular, frequent, intervals. I can barely finish typing a login before it goes to black and it appears not to take my typing during the "black-outs" or characters seem to get taken oddly... anyway...

Not sure what is going on. I think I may have set the resolution too high during the setup, but I don't know how to go about fixing this (nor am I sure this is the case).

I have an ATI Rage 128 video card, and that, in combination with the monitor is supposed ot be capable up to 1600x1200 -- I may have set the wrong frequency or something. Anyway, I'm kind of stuck at even getting in to run dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86.

Matt
