I've used linux for years, but only recently purchased my first PPC

system and I'm trying to get yellow dog working with my ibook G4.  The

install worked in text mode, and I'm able to log in and use command

line, but getting X to work is causing me trouble.   It's been so long

since I've had to troubleshoot X windows that I can't remember

anything.


If I try and run a startX with anything but the frame buffer driver

(running at about 4 colors it seems) it craps out saying unable to

connect to 0:0 or no displays available.  The XFree86 config file I've

tried tweaking but nothing gets it working past the fugly 4 color

method...  When started in the 4 color one I can't find a driver under

the display settings for the Radeon Mobility 9200 (and none of the

other ATI drivers work).


I'm sure you'll need more info on this, but that's what I've got off

the top of my head, I'll try and cut and paste the actual output once

I get back home on my network.


Thanks for any and all help you can give me.
