I just did an ftp install of SuSE 7.3 that seemed to go pretty well -- as an *install process.* Mac Cube, pretty stock -- 450mhz CPU (original) Rage 128 (original) 1.5G RAM (upgrade), 80G Seagate HD (upgrade). 17" Studio Display (CRT) -- I believe they are digital? After SuSE install, could not startx I got: /usr/S11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi does not exist entry deleted from path (about 10 font directories repeated this way, then...) fontpath set to /usr/lib/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/local,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc:unscaled,/usr/X11R6/fonts/75dip:unscaled,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/type1,/uxr/X11R6/fonts/lib/X11/fonts/URN,/usr/X1R6/lib/X11/fonts/speedo,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/uni" ***FBDev: using default framebuffer video mode fatal server error: fbev ScreenInit:unable to set screenparams (invalid argument) (IO: fatal IO error 104 (0 known processed) with 0 events remaining. I rebooted and could not find evidence of SuSE to boot either by holding down option key (New World) nor command-option-OF (only mac-boot was offered; when I typed linux, I got a big "international 'no' symbol" and the machine froze). I had to rerun the "install" file in OF to get back to SuSE (of course a lot of install screens first). I did look in lilo.conf to confirm that it pointed to my / partition (it did). Almost seems like yaboot isn't there or setup? Then, figuring I had a video/driver problem, I followed the advice at "Setting up unsupported graphics cards with the framebuffer device" from SuSE's site. at boot prompt it said to enter: linux 3 vga=791 so I typed that at the OF prompt and got linux unknown word. So I tried linux 3 vga=791 at the command line (after restarting from OF/install file) and I got linux command not found. tried pico etc/lilo.conf there was no "vga=normal" so I added the line "vga=791" to lilo.conf. That caused an error too. At command line, tried variations of sax2 and it said I'm set up for XFree 3.3 (I think) but I thought SuSE 7.3 came with XF4.x! Then I tried sax (which was supposed to work with XF3.x) and got unknown command. This was from a total ftp install -- NewWorld install, plus ftp. Not a PPC .iso, although I noticed that the site mentioned availability of .iso for PPC, couldn't find any though. What's going on here?? -ms -- Many have Montana envy ... the lucky get to live here!
