This can be done, but there are a couple tricks.

install on the previous version of the G4, but it worked for me.
Basically, the steps are this:

I have been trying to get XFree86 4.3 installed on my 17" PowerBook
G4. I am using a 2.4.23 benh kernel, and my sources.list is as
follows:
deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian unstable main
deb ftp://debian.mirrors.pair.com unstable main
deb ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/debian/project/experim
Even easier than that - "apt-cache search " so you can find
packages that sound like what you want, or might do what you want...
"apt-cache show " will return more details on a particular
package. No need for messy grepping...

I've installed DebianPPC3.0(Woody). How do I query apt-get about

that database regarding a particular pkg using an apt-get option? I'm

Thanks for the tips, Rogerio. A
modprobe vfat
was apparently all that was necessary to retrieve that fs support from
the kernel. After that, I could mount the diskonkey w no problem.
The hotplug install sounds like a good idea--I'll give that a try.
Thanks again.--Harvey

You need to first configure X Windows.

Thank you for your quick answer ;)

Hi,
My problem simply went away *after* I remembered to enable the CONFIG_DRM=y in
the kernel config and rebuilt (and then chose the right driver) the kernel.
DRM is NOT built into the kernel by default. You must enable it in the kernel
config first and then rebuild your kernel.
HTH,
