It's a not a driver thing. This much i know. I just recently installed YDL4 on my old eMac. You just have to change the VertRefresh in the xFree86.conf file, which I believe is found in /etc/X11. Here's the post that helped me.

someone put more changes in the file which is nice too.
I believe this will get things going. If not let me know and I'll see if I can dig up the other stuff that helped me get things going.

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)
