Hi,
Just completed an Expert installation with Beta1 CD1 on a PowerBook G4 550MHz (Radeon); here's my report: After booting from the Installation CD, I tried various boot options (radeon, riva, tdfx, aty), but DrakX was always split in half wrapped around the monitor in a weird gold color. I didn't want to use the text-based install, but was able to complete a graphical installation even with the funky display. When it was time to Configure X, I chose XFree4. The installer didn't ask to test the configuration setting, so I answered "No" to the question about automatically starting X. The installation then completed normally, and Linux booted up without any problems or errors. I was happily surprised that after typing "startx", KDE started up nicely : ) The display of the desktop hangs about 1" off the right side of the monitor. The left side of the screen has approx. 1" of black space running down the depth of the display, and the right side of the desktop is missing approx. 1" that is being cut off of the right edge. The fonts on the KDE desktop look a bit distorted. It appears that the video (1024) is being scaled to fit this machine's wide screen (1152). But maybe the installer had a 1152x768 setting that I didn't notice because of the garbled display. Other than the video problems, the beta looks quite nice so far. KDE's startup sound was nice and clear while entering the desktop (even though a message was displayed that says "Error while initializing the sound driver: device /dev/dsp can't be opened (Device or resource busy) The sound server will continue, using the null output device)." Please let me know if you need any more info. Bye, Phil
