Has anyone got YDL4 to run on a Windtunnel G4?

You'd think a year-old Mac would be supported by a Mac-exclusive OS,
but it seems not.

It seemed to go smoothly then which it got to login, the screen went
into a slow flash-black-flash-black ... and then locked up, with an
alert saying X Windows Server wasn't working. Like, I'd worked that
much out!

Anyone got a custom tweak? Handy hint? Trick with a bent coathanger?

Look on the bright side: at least I didn't pay for it!

I had something similar happen on my TiBook. When X crapps out, go into another
shell, use Xautoconfig, and restart. That worked for me - Hopefully it will do
the trick for you.

Thanks HTH, I'll give that a try. BTW, I love that icon!
