I recently did a woody net install on my first generation tibook (booting the installer from OF...). I never had luck too much luck with the X in debian, but it worked fine for me in yellow-dog 2.1 & 2.2. But since I would much rather run woody than yd, I started playing with it last night, and was able to get a little further into it. I can get some sort of X to start with the fbdev driver, but only 8 bit color. 15 & 16 croak on me. I noticed that the yellow dog conf was using the ati driver, but I can't get any color depth to work with X in debian.
So I figured maybe my kernel was missing something. i386 kernel compiling doesn't bother me in the least, but I'm not too comfortable with ppc hardware, so I grabbed a Ben H. kernel from ppckernel. I also copied the 2.4.18xxx kernel & modules from the yd side over & set both up. However, when I booted either of them, I had no keyboard input. (I have no kernel parameters for either through append in yaboot.conf...) In the meantime, I'm giving a shot at the kernel compile myself. Any suggestions for X or something else I could be doing wrong kernel-wise? >--))> >--))> Mark T.
