Hi all,
=20
yesterday I tried to install YDL 3.0 on my G4 Quicksilver 2001 with 768 =
MB
RAM and a NVidia GForce 2 MX with 32 MB DDR connected to an Apple =
Studio
Display 17'' LCD. Although the graphical installer failed to start, the
installation in text mode was very fine. But when I started X11 after
installation the display looked very messy: I had the same screen three
times on the display and it looked like drawn by very smal and short
horizontal lines in ugly (loud/shrill or what ever) colors.
=20
The /etc/X11/XF86Config looks like this:
=20
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
VendorName "Monitor0"
ModelName "Monitor Model"
HorizSync 30 - 130
VertRefresh 60 - 60
Option "DPMS"
EndSection
=20
Section "Device"
# no known options
Identifier "GForce 2 MX (generic)"
Driver "nv"
VendorName "GForce 2 MX (generic)"
BoardName "GForce 2 MX (generic)"
# BusID
BusID "PCI:0:16:0" (I had to add this manually)
EndSection
=20
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "GForce 2 MX (generic)"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 16
SubSection "Display"
Depth 16
Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection
EndSection
=20
Section "DRI"
Mode 0666
EndSection
=20
=20
I changed some of these parameters without success. Has anyone some =
hints
for the correct settings (maybe some kernel/boot parameters) for =
solving
this problem? Any advise would be nice.
=20
Thanks a lot for your help.

Cheers
