This is probably FAQ somewhere, but I cannot find it:
I'm installing debian 3.0 stable on my Mac PowerPC, G4 400 (agp
graphics, "tower" configuration), and when trying to start X, it
bombs with:
Symbol fbdevHWGetLineLength from module
/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/r128_drv.o is unresolved!
I'm not new to Debian, I've got it on some 15 to 20 servers at work
(big ass database machines), my desktop at work, a couple laptops
etc. all X86. Now I'm switching (take *THAT* apple) my desktop
machine at home from OSX to Linux (completely, no dual boot).
I've tried using the "ati" driver, and the "r128" driver, and both
hork the same way on me.
I also tried using the vga driver, but that was even worse.
Did I miss a package, is the existing package (in stable no less)
broken, or did I screw something else up?
