X on ancient iBook

[Andrew Ball]

Hello Eric,

   ED> #1. Did you try running Xautoconfig?

Yes.

   ED> #2. Have you looked at your /etc/X11/XF86Config file? It seems

I hadn't, but on reading your suggestion I went in and noticed that
section "Screen" had a subsection "Display" for 24-bit depth, which I
guessed X would default to if it were present.  I pruned that
subsection and now X works!

Thanks a lot for the hint,
   - Andy Ball.
