Hi,
I'm a newbie who's just managed to install Debian 3.1 on an Old-World
PCI PPC 8500. All I've managed so far is a command-line interface. For
some reason, Gnome Display Manager is unable to run - error message
indicating that the Xserver is unable to run, apparently not recognizing
the display device. I would appreciate any advice as to how I can, if at
all possible, boot into the GUI (X Windows?).
My system setup:
PCI PowerPC 8500 upgraded with 500Mhz G3 daughter card
128MB RAM
2 x 4 gig hard drives, with one dedicated for Debian.
Running OS 9.2 and using BootX Bootloader
15" Compaq CRT monitor (with adapter)
Kensingnton 4-button ADB Mouse
