Hi, I have a 400 MHz G4 with an AGP ATI rage 128 card. I just installed linux last week (and so am very green). I can't get X serve (I think this is what the GUI is called) to work well. I followed the "How to" instructions on terrasoft's site. However, the only configuration where I can get XServe to lauch is when I set the device in the X configuration file to fbdev and the depth to 8. Any other setting (using the ati driver which XAutoCong detects, or changing the color depth to 16) does not work, I get a fatal error and sent back to the command line. I was wondering if anyone who had solved this problem could lend me some help.
 
Thanks,
    Lindsey
