Hi,
XFree86-server 4.1.0 gives me garbled text in most fonts. Both with source
package from cooker that I compiled myself and with the binary someone
referred to in a previous mail on this list. The characters are almost
written in reverse order. Any idea what causes this? I don't use the X
font

Okay, I see. But I'm on an oldworld mac, so I'm using BootX.
One last Q - do you recall if you were able to use the 2.4 kernel on the
CD when you installed?
Thx,

Did for me. You don't need all the RPMs, so choose them carefully.
In short, if one won't install, you probably don't need it.

Thanks.

Henrik has identified a problem with lyx. The program segfaults
immediately when you try to use it. The version from cooker seems to
build/run acceptably in my quick try and Vincent is going to rebuild it
and add it to the updates site.
Thanks Henrik!

MandrakeSoftOH/TN,
Okay, I see. But I'm on an oldworld mac, so I'm using BootX. Do i need to
make this ram disk and then move it over to the mac side of the world so i
can then tell bootx to load from this ram disk initially?
oh, and the rpm -i command didn't seem to make a initrd for me.
thanks

A week or so ago, Ryan Gordon posted that he had XFree 4 working on an iMac

The archived messages contains too little information for me to reproduce

Thanks in advance.

Aahhh. Yes, I already have Mandrake 8.0 installed and the 2.2 kernel is up
and running just fine. I'm just trying to upgrade to the 2.4 kernel.
I'm guessing I need an initrd, but i'm not really sure what that is or how

One step at a time. I found that if I choose "no video driver" and
"text" as a kernel argument (not "install-text") I get a little further.
Now, I manage to enter the install program. I get as far as
choosing the install method and then the install language. Later I get
a kernel panic:
miBoot is another boot loader for Old-World machines. It can be set up to
use the same style config file as yaboot. Because it replaces the MacOS
System Folder, it's possible to create a smaller HFS partition and still be
able to boot multiple kernels. In my case, I no longer have an easily

No, the beige G3 is an "old world" macintosh. That's why I'm trying to

I've tried every combination.
