Hi the list ! :c) I'm a noob w/ GNU/Linux on PPC. I've already play w/ lots of x86, sparcs and one ARM... but no PPC. The last week, I've got a PowerBook G4, 15.2", ATI Radeon 9600 (M10), 1.5GHz (beautiful toy) with my work. I'm naturally trying to put a GNU/Linux on it, and Debian was my first idea. So, after fighting w/ yaboot, I'm trying to get a X environment working. I can start X (as root), it displays the classical gray screen with the "cross" mouse pointer. so it seems to work. but the matter is when I try to stop the X server. killing it w/ signal 15 or 9 is not working. in the better situation, it's displaying me a black screen w/ yellow "points" on it or just a black screen and I've never found a solution to get a console back. I can still connect to my laptop through ssh, and I can see the X process in this state : 528 ? R< 3:23 X
well... if anyone has a solution... I would be really pleased :c/ -- Baptiste SIMON aka BeTa Administrateur systèmes GNU/Linux, Unix, IPv6 | http://www.e-glop.net/ Développement, design système | CNAM - CEANTE - http://ceante.cnam.fr/
