My apologies if this has been discussed before but I've searched through th=
e archives, and elsewhere online, and I'm stumped. Anyway . . .
I just installed YDL 2.3 on my PowerBook G3 series (Wallstreet II) yesterda=
y. The install went fine but when I attempted to start X Windows I ran into=
trouble. The complete dump is below, but the short version is that the sys=
tem can't find the bitmap and pcidata modules, and without those modules it=
can't run.
I found a few similar reports from users of other (x86) distros and the gen=
eral advice was to reinstall X. On a whim I reinstalled YDL yesterday, but =
the problem remained. I maintain Linux servers at work, but XFree is not my=
area of expertise. Any thoughts?
Ben Beachy.
