Re: Debian Stable, G4 powermac, X11 crashes on boot with, black screen + therm issue?
One option you might try in your xorg.conf's Section Device: Option NoAccel true I have put it in mine. I don't remember why.

Re: Debian Stable, G4 powermac, X11 crashes on boot with, black screen + therm issue?
Thanks Risto Dave, I do have NoAccel true in xorg.conf, but checking for the auto-dim and screensaver as possible problems are both also good tips. I also meant to say in my follow up, X -configure [not config], created a file that temporarily worked for me, but then the same issue came back after a reboot.

It was related to the screensaver starting. The screensaver would start but instead of displaying the graphics, it would black-out the screen. Neither keypress nor mouse movement would return to the desktop. I recommend removing your screensaver. Additionally, try disabling the auto-dim/auto-off for the display.

Re: Debian Stable, G4 powermac, X11 crashes on boot with, black screen + therm issue?
I'm curious how the file generated by X -configure was overwritten after a reboot. Does X -configure by default generate an ephemeral configuration xorg.conf file? -Original Message- From: gw [j] iza [b] superstar Sent: Tuesday, March 25, 2014 12:31 PM To: debian-powerpc@lists.debian.org Subject: Re: Debian Stable, G4 powermac, X11 crashes on boot with, black screen + therm issue?
