This weekend I installed Debian on my Powerbook G4. I’m impressed with what I see, but I can’t get the xwindow system working right. Everything loads, but is garbled – like I’m looking at ten overlapping copies of the screen through mini-blinds. Some postings on the web show that I need to recompile the kernel so linux will know what to do with my ratheon (sp?) display hardware. I try to follow the instructions, but I keep getting error messages.Can anyone tell me how I can a) fix my display configuration, or b) reinstall mac os X, since I can’t boot from the cd drive (I don’t know how to configure the yaboot program either).

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks,
