Woohoo! Finally got X up and helix/gnome is tolerable with a single buton mouse (I'm getting a 3 button ps2 anyway). X Wouldn't work cause I had to set a res for console X was set to run off. I didn't know this until I started sifting through quite a few docs. Anyway, one last problem, it's proba

I have to use the same settings as my frame buffer? How can I get around this, I wanna run something like 1024 x 768 or perhaps 1280 x 1024. Both of these modes with 16 bpp (or as high as I can get away with). With a matrox g200 (I think that's what it is, I got the thing just a few days ago), what

I believe the auto-config programs found in LinuxPPC are not packaged for Debian. They make some RedHat assumptions about file locations, so they won't run out of the box on a Debian system, and no one I know of has ported them. So, it's you, your text editor, and /etc/X11/XF86Config . If you're

Both of these come in the debian packages(I'm not at home right now to check)? I'm using a matrox (g200 I think). On Mon, 24 Jul 2000, Nelson Abramson wrote: > Cameron wrote: > > > I'm using XFree 3.3.6 (I "apt-got" it). > > Oh, sorry about that :-) In that case, try Xconfigurator or Xautocon

What util does xfree86 use for configuring X on powermac? I at least want to know how to have a nice res without ANY virtual screen space (I find that to be very annoying). I have like a matrox 200 with 4 megs of ram or something, so I know I can do at least something decent. Thanks. Cameron
