Re: Good. AND

Post #192,188 by tjsinclair 1/29/05 2:02:47 AM Reply	Re: Good. AND So far, not too many hiccups. I installed the SMP kernel and now both of my G4s show up. Much easier than expected. Having some problems with video, though. For some reason dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 is not recognizing my video card (32MB ATI Rage) so currently I get 800x600 max resolution. I'm continuing to research this. I've found a spec sheet so I can focus my search a little better.

Might also be one of the Cards that needs to be hand-massaged to get it past 800x600. Might just ask on debian-user, debian-powerpc or even debian-x. Also, don't forget to do an Installation Report for the PPC (and your Sparc too) as they need to see the problems as well as "good" results. Even Workarounds in the Install Reports are good to see. -- [link\|mailto:greg@gregfolkert.net\|greg], [link\|http://www.iwethey.org/ed_curry\|REMEMBER ED CURRY!] @ *i_wethey* [link\|http://it.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=134485&cid=11233230\|"Microsoft Security" is an even better oxymoron than "Miltary Intelligence"] No matter how much Microsoft supporters whine about how Linux and other operating systems have just as many bugs as their operating systems do, the bottom line is that the serious, gut-wrenching problems happen on Windows, not on Linux, not on Mac OS. -- [link\|http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1759,1622086,00.asp\|source]
