Hello, James. Did you ever solve your weird rectangle problem, in this
thread?:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-powerpc/2011/04/msg00024.html
I had the same trouble, and solved it by fixing my xorg.conf. I reported
my success elsewhere:
http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=63903
At first, I just went back to Lenny (something I'm thinking of doing
today, since someone lost alsaconf in squeeze, and my sound does not work
without this magical command). Lenny brought a xorg.conf which was for
the 12" screen. If you have the 14" screen, then this should work for
you.
You should be able to update your /etc/X11/xorg.conf with video-ofonly,
though what I did was to install without x, fix the problem, and then
slowly, one package at a time, install x back to make sure it was working.
I'm new to this forum, starting today, so I hope my first post is a helpful one
(though I believe we're also both on the texhax list).
Best,
Robert
