Hello, I recently installed Debian/GNU Linux 3.0 on my PowerCenter 132 (PowerPC Mac Clone). Only one fly in the ointment, X will not run. This is a 'stock' machine with 1MB of VRAM. I am using the default 'Platinum' on-board video chip. Kernel is at 2.2.20-pmac. When I boot, the standard init lines run across the screen, and then the login prompt appears, and immediately, the screen blanks out. I am assuming this is the switch to VT7. Then the light on the monitor switches to amber (e.g., no video signal). gdm thinks it is running, but I can't see anything. I can swap back to VT1-6. I have tried tweaking XF86Config-4 until my fingers hurt. I have read XF86Config man pages, lurked on this list, looked at FAQs, tried my hand at fbset... Nothing seems to change. I have included my XF86Config-4 and X.log.0 files. I am sorry if this is a bone-headed newbie question. Many thanks for any help.
