I have been trying many different scenarios and using different Debian Install disks. Every Debian install disk has graphic issues when starting into Debian. As soon as the kernel boots I get funky graphic lines that wave on the screen. I don't get any of this when using the Ubuntu install disk at all. I just downloaded the latest reversion of Debian and burned the disk. http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/3.1_r2/powerpc/iso-cd/ But I can't any choice in yaboot that will give me a proper kernel to boot from. Is there something I can do because this is my 2nd powerbook that is very temperamental in using Linux and it is very frustrating. All my G3s (b&w), G4s, and G4 xserv all do very well and are running as servers and workstations quite nicely all the time. Stats: Machine Name: PowerBook G4 17" Machine Model: Powerbook5.5 CPU Type: PowerPc G4 (1,1) CPU Speed: 1.5 GHz L2 Cache (per CPU): 512KB Memory: 2G Bus Speed: 167 MHz Boot Rom Version: 4.86f0 It was taking me some extra time because I have been trying to install a Debian system and use that so I can compare my configs compiled on Debian instead of Ubuntu with Debian's stock kernel. Is there a way I can not have any graphic distortion with lines scrolling up on the center of the monitor. -Adam -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

While Win32 do not work on PPC there are binary codec packages for PPC. They contain .so files that allow playing some RealVideo and RealAudio and Indeo codecs for which free software decoders do not yet exist. You can get the packages from http://www.mplayerhq.hu/design7/codecs.html And yes, WMV3 should work with current MPlayer Subversion snapshots. However, the decoder is not finished and does not support advanced profiles or B-frames yet. Hopefully it will by the end of the year.

I had considered installing mplayer on one of my PowerMacs, but without the ability to play WMV files, it hardly seems worthwhile. No. With FFmpeg VC-1 codecs, we don't need w32codecs.
