Hi,

Somehow I got stuck with XFree86 v.3 instead of XFree86 v.4 then I installed 
SuSE 7.3. I guess the Installer did that based on the graphics card in the 
PowerBook G3 Lombard/Bronze (mine is the 333MHz pre Firewire).

Any PowerBook G3 guys out there? Any luck with SuSE 7.3?

Does anyone know if my PowerBook really *cannot* handle XFree86 v.4?

Have tips how to do the install so I get XFree86 v.4?

Problems I'm having with XFree86 v.3:
  everything works so far OK that I have tried (Konqueror, Kmail, Kdict, 
  Konsol) except,
- Gimp and Mozilla -- turn KDE  colors all weird like they were
  inverted. Seems like the yellow spectrum is missing. Graphics in Gimp look
  fine and Web content in Mozilla looks fine, but either of those two programs
  are running the KDE desktop, menus, and panel turn into wacky colors.
- Yast2 and Sax2 give an error message saying that my graphics card 
  requires XFree86 v.3 and that they cannot configure XFree86 v.3.

So I have been configuring with Yast1.

Ak, what should I do? Any hope for me?

Thank you!

Roger in San Francisco :)
