- Installing from any 6.06 Dapper Drake based licecd I have encountered
- the following problems with xorg.conf:
+ Installing from any 6.06 Dapper Drake based livecd on an 400 MHz PPC
+ iMac with 128 Mb of RAM I have encountered the following problems with
+ xorg.conf:
- Monitor section does not define values good for internal CRT monitor
leaving a black screen entering X. Here is a working Monitor section:
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "iMacDVMonitor"
HorizSync 60-60
VertRefresh 60-75
Modeline "1024x768" 78.740 1024 1056 1152 1312 768 769 772 800 +HSync
+VSync
EndSection
- Option UseFBDev "true" does not work from livecd due to SIGSEGV
reported as https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-
video-ati/+bug/63072
- Lowmemory freeze because livecd installer turns off the swap. I did
'cp /bin/true /sbin/swapoff on the ramdisk as a workaround.
I think a new livecd is needed to save more of these old iMacs from the
recycle bin. Please do! I now finally have Xubuntu on my loved 400 MHz
grape iMac, It's alive!
