installing ydl graphical mode works/ x doesn't ?

[Wujciak, James (US SSA)]

Ian-

I recently installed 3.0.1 on a 15" PBG4 and had the same message.
There is a command line that is not included in the "instruction book".

            Xautoconfig --fbdev

This command must be run as root. Then "startx" should start X. If it
does not... you may have not selected 64Mb (Of video memory) during the
installation process

hello there,

i have recently installed ydl on my powerbook g4 but have been having=20
problems because my laptop is brand new and there are no drivers for=20
the ATI Mobility 9700...

however. when i run the install. the graphical install mode works just=20
fine.

the install goes without a hitch. but i can only boot to terminal mode.

but talking about this with a friend... how come if i can install in=20
graphical mode... i can't use whatever drivers/setting where using in=20
that mode... for when i start up post install?

can someone tell me how i can set my laptop to use whatever setting it=20
was using in the graphical install mode so i can use Xfree?

or is this not a possibility?

thanks,
ian
