MOL on Powerbook G3's

[Paris Pender]

Hi,

I've been trying to get MOL to work on my Powerbook G3 (1998 version, I 
think), running a 300 MHz G3 with 64 Megs of RAM, and a 2 gig HD.  I'm 
running YDL, kernel 2.4.18-0.8a, in oldworld mode, and MOL version  
0.9.60.  On the mac side I run OS 8.6.

The problem is the following:  after typing in startmol, a window pops up 
and I see the 'happy mac' face, but then nothing else happens.  MOL is 
using up about 95% of my CPU, but isn't doing anything in its X-window.  
The onlyu thing I've done so far, besides running molvconfig, is to copy 
the Mac OS ROM file from my install CD into my system folder 
(incidentally, copying it to the linux side and trying to get MOL to use 
it there doesn't work either), and change around a couple of the default 
lines of the molrc file to suite my RAM specifications.  Any other 
fiddling with the molrc file, or various MOL configurations have not 
produced any effect.

So, I'm wondering -- is there some trick to getting MOL to work on 
Powebooks?  It would be great if I could run my mac off the linux side, 
but thus far i've not been able to get the program to get past the 'happy 
mac' face.  I've put MOL's output below.  Thanks for any help.

PTP
