I was going to snip this xorg.conf, but I decided to leave it.
1) why are you running x on a server in the first place?
2) Your problems lie in your video drivers. Doing a search I found this:
Workaround 1:
in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
set
Option "UseFBDev" "true"
to false, note in this case switching VT is broken and locks the box.
Workaround 2:
use
Driver "fbdev"
rather than "ati"
If you really need ofonly
You may have to set
Option "ShadowFB" "false"
When it is set to true the screen is mangled for me (a pb when the
stride is not the same as the line length, 1024 for 800 in my case).
and remove all
SubSection "Display"
in "Screen"
and DefaultDepth
if any.
Here ofonly uses 800x600 256 colors only.
If the workaround 1 works for you then you don't need ofonly, remove it
from /etc/yaboot.conf an rerun ybin or mount the bootstrap partition and
change yaboot.conf there.
