Hi XFree86 (and Debian X) people. I am in the process of porting PGI,
Progeny Linux Systems' X-based installer program for Debian, to PowerPC.
I have overcome several hurdles, except that on my iBook2, X refuses to do
any modeline processing or find a usable configuration in the installer
(running off of a CD with everything in /live also-known-as /usr
read-only but everything else in a read/write initrd). I have tested my
working config from my existing iBook2 Debian install in the installer,
and it failed the same way as the PGI config did. The reverse has also been
tested.
I am attaching a working config and the corresponding X log, with -verbose
3, as well as the equivalent with a PGI config. Again, as I said before, I
have tried the working config in the CD-based installer, and it has failed,
and another person who has the same hardware has tried the broken config on
his regular Debian setup, and it has worked.
Any advice would be very helpful. Thank you.
