Oh, I see. Well, you might try upgrading to woody. the X support for powerpc hardware was pretty shaky in potato. After adding a woody source in /etc/apt/sources.list, just apt-get update apt-get dist-upgrade -- *------v--------- Installing Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 --------v------* | <http://www.debian.org/releases/woody/installmanual> | | debian-imac (potato): <http://debian-imac.sourceforge.net> | | Chris Tillman [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | May the Source be with you | *----------------------------------------------------------------* -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
