Hello!
First, so sorry if I'm spamming anyone, I'm new to mailing lists...
Second, thank you so much for a distro aimed at ppc32 - my fallback was
always Gentoo but so much of my time seemed to be spent recompiling. apk
looks really promising.
I've installed Adelie from the manual installer (I'd be happy to throw my
hat in the ring to maybe help make that a little clearer) and set the auto
boot in Open Firmware, works like a charm at the CLI. I'm now working on a
DE X install. icewm, to be exact.
I don't really care about speed, I'm just really after something
functional. I've given up on the ati drivers and am falling back to fbdev.
The X test on the config.new fails with something about the mode. I've
tried forcing the mode in the Monitor config section but no joy.
I've removed the blacklist entry in modprobes.d for radeonfb and modprobe
radeonfb worked, and given it another go, but still no luck and I realise
that frankly I don't know what I'm doing so I thought I'd just ask.
Thank you all in advance
Phil.
