Hello List,
I'm installing Linux on a PowerMac G4. Since the installation with
Gnome failed with a black-and-white horizontal stripey screen and
frozen system, I was advised to try Xorg instead.
My first attempt resulted in 'no screens found'. After a reinstall of
the OS however, I now have the stripey screen again if I use 'startx'.
Attached are the log from running 'startx', and from running 'X -cfg'.
Here are my video card and display details.
Chipset Model: ATY,Rage128Pro
Type: Display
Bus: AGP
Slot: SLOT-1
VRAM (Total): 16 MB
Vendor: ATI (0x1002)
Device ID: 0x5046
Revision ID: 0x0000
ROM Revision: 113-72701-130
Displays:
831W:
Resolution: 1360 x 768 @ 60 Hz
Depth: 32-bit Color
Core Image: Not Supported
Main Display: Yes
Mirror: Off
Online: Yes
Quartz Extreme: Not Supported
Can you help please? I'm new to Linux as well, so assume I know nothing
about its internal workings.
Thanks,
Geoff Down
