I read a doc to install woody on an ibook (in French)[1]. In this page,
the author seems to indicate that it is possible to drive the CRT output
with some Xfree Radeon driver options.
In particular It points to a Xfree 4.3 man pages[2] that mentions some
very interesting Clone* option.

The best way to fix that is to check the permissions on /dev/ttya and
put your user account in the system group that owns /dev/ttya.
Do a 'usermod -G group_name userid' to add your login account to the

logging in to check if
My personal opinion is that Apple laptops are great hardware, but the
linux community using them is so much smaller that it was hard to get
some of the things common on x86. It's much improved in the past year

I suggest you the Apple iBook, it works fine with Debian GNU/Linux
and is quite fast for multimedia applications, furthermore it looks
pretty and is not heavy in weight as many other x86 laptops.

To the original poster: I have installed OS X on an otherwise Linux

though; mac-fdisk will just not touch any partitions that stay the same.

This is as far as I got. I get the error message with both graphics and
