Just a wild guess from a Neophyte.
It appears that the installation doesn't recognize the eMac's monitor. Perhaps you're missing the appropriate monitor driver. Just out of curiousity, I wonder if you could attach an extra monitor (if you have the port to do so) and reboot...the installation program would detect a new peripheral and try to map it against what it understands.
In the meantime, perhaps Apple can help you determine where your driver is. I think that's the crux of the problem.
1) Attach an exterior monitor or
2) Speak with the Linux techos about eMac monitors. I seems like an obvious bug that should be easily remedied.

Hello, please someone help (or I'll cry).
We just bought Yellow Dog (4.0.1)from Terra Soft a few days ago. We tried many times to install it (on an eMac PowerPC G4 that is about a year old). When that didn't work, we tried installing 4.0. We always get the same error after Anaconda starts running off the first installation disk:
Using config file: "/tmp/XF86Config.test" Parse error on line 71 of section Monitor in file /tmp/XF86Config.test
The VertRetfresh keyword must be followed by a list of numbers or ranges [....]
Fatal server error: no screens found
And then it exits the installation and tells us to reboot.
Can someone tell us what is wrong. We were under the impression that Yellow Dog was supposed to install on standard Mac Hardware - did we miss something in the fine print?
Thanks,
Jim (and his son Jay, who already has to re-install all his games)
