Well, if you can get to the console (ctrl-alt-F1), you could try two things:
1- Use Xdrake (which you probably already did)
2- Test it (init 3 then init 5)
or
1- run XFree86 -configure
2- Test it
3- Try to change the driver in the config file (fbdev, r128, ati...)
4- Make sure you got the line:
What is the error message from the console?
Is it usuable or XFree86 just don't want start (like no backgroung color, no
cursor...) ?

Anyway, for what is worth, here's my config for a ATI rage128 MOBILITY.

Hi,
I try to make a clean reinstall of mdk 9.1 on my old ibook 366. The maximum screen

I'm one of them and I find it simpler that the CDparanoia stuff.
You'll get a AudioCD reader plug-in in XMMS. Just change, in options, the Default
