RE: [newbie] compile rdesktop on PPC?

I wasn't aware it was on the CD.  I've tried the rpmfind.net with the
same results you gave me, but I've been unable to download the file.

So what is wrong with the rdesktop already on your install CD?

You can also find almost anything you need in ROM format on
www.rpmfind.net

for example
http://www.rpmfind.net//linux/RPM/mandrake/9.0/i586/Mandrake/RPMS/rdeskt
op-1.1.0-5mdk.i586.html

[newbie] iMac running Mandrake PPC 8.2 has blank screen

[Gabe Knuth]

Hello,


I’ve tried to read through the archives, but, unfortunately, most of the
explanations didn’t help because I don’t know what I’m
reading.  I’m very new to
Linux, and am having a problem with the PPC version of Mandrake 8.2.  

 

The installation would only work in Text Install mode.  Any time I tried to use the graphical install, I would just get a blue screen with a cursor in the
middle (the X).  The cursor wouldn’t
move.  Once I got it installed, I
was able to boot into yaboot and fire up Linux
(pressing l).  At that point, I type
“linux” and it goes through it’s bootup process.  When it goes to switch to the next phase
(X-Windows or KDE, I presume) all I get is a black screen.  No cursor, no pointer – no nothing.


I can assume from the archives that this is a display driver problem.  From there, I am quite lost.  I’ve no clue where to go or how to
go about troubleshooting the problem. 


 

If anyone can give me a hand, I’d appreciate it.  Thanks much.
