Starting with debian ppc unstable running 2.4.23 sgi-xfs and ati r128, I upgraded to Xfree86 4.4.0-pre1 compiled with gcc 3.3.2. All of this works. Next I compiled benh-2.6.0-test11 with gcc-3.3.2(but also systematically with every possible combination I can think of; and also gcc-2.95 with the same results). Using the open firmware frame buffer I can see that startup loads everything but then I don't get a login prompt. It says: Not starting Xdisplay manager (xdm); it is not the default manager INIT: ID "1" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes
I get no local login prompt. I can remotely login so I know the whole thing didn't crash, and booting with kernel-2.4.23 I do get the local login prompt. Changing /etc/inittab from runlevel 2 to runlevel 3 or 5 didn't help. Now using aty128fb I can symbolicly link /dev/fb/0 to /dev/fb0 remotely login and start gdm, but now I can't move the mouse or keyboard. If I start X this way and wait five minutes Xprt (x print server I think) takes up 99% cpu. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? New Yahoo!
