XWindow server

[Jobst]

Hi,

the Problem with my iBook is a bit more difficult i think.
It's again the XFree86Config that doesn't work, but here the vertical
rate is written in the right way.
After the installation the xserver doesn't start, i have no GUI.
I've started Xautoconfig and i could start with startx. I've logged in
as "root" and I had only 256 Colours, so i changed this first to
millions. The System wants a restart, but after this i could not start
the xserver, i had to build a new XFree86Config. Then i tried to turn
the coulors just to thausends and now the system runs, i can restart
as often i want and this problem seems to be gone.
I tried again to turn the coulors to millions and had the same problem again.
