Hi,
Today I installed LinuxPPC 1999 on an ANS 700 using Scott Every's
installer . Everything went fine, but I got one (big) problem. My
Xserver won't work.
XConfigurator detected the Cirrus 54m30 videocard (I suppose this is OK)
and I picked my monitor from the list. So far so good, but when Linux
tried to open the Xserver it failed. It showed the message 'There is a
problem with your Xconfiguration. You may go back and modify your
configuration or exit now' I recognised the message from my installation
on my PC, but that was because my videocard was not supported, which is
not the case right now.
I got two other problems too. During the boot a couple of times the
message '/boot/system.map incorrect kernel version'. Is this a
problem????
Another thing is that sometimes my screen goes white and for one second
I am unable to do anything. This problem didn't occur during the
installation but began after logging in as root. Is this a known
problem???
I am not really a Linux expert although I am an experienced computer
user (Amiga, Windows, Macintosh etc.) so my problems might be little
ones (I hope so).
Any suggestions???
Thanks,
Marco
