Installing YDL 4 on a PowerBook G3 Pismo

[Mark Jaffe]

Eric & listers,

Here's the XF86Config file that works for me on my Pismo:
-------------------------------
# File generated by Xautoconfig.

Section "ServerLayout"
         Identifier     "XFree86 Configured"
         Screen      0  "Screen0" 0 0
         InputDevice    "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
         InputDevice    "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection

Section "Files"

# RgbPath is the location of the RGB database.  Note, this is the name 
of the
# file minus the extension (like ".txt" or ".db").  There is normally
# no need to change the default.
# Multiple FontPath entries are allowed (they are concatenated together)
# By default, Red Hat 6.0 and later now use a font server independent of
# the X server to render fonts.
         RgbPath      "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb"
         FontPath     "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc:unscaled"
