RS/6000 43P 150 Questions, Using Suse 7.1

Hello all. I recently changed the job of my rs/6000 from server to workstation. I originally made it a server because I couldn't get it's X working properly, and now I'm stuck trying to fix it again. Anyway, the box has a gxt2000p graphics card. The 2.4.2 kernel supplied with Suse 7.1 works console fine, but starting X gives a mess of mostly black. So, I started researching again. I read in another post that I needed to upgrade to the 2.4.6 kernel. Compiled, booted, froze immediately. More on that in a bit. I then tried the BETA kernel, in the ftp site. Same result (aside from the version number). Here's what the screen shows: - beginning - Welcome to Linux, kernel 2.4.12 linked at : 0xc0000000 frame buffer at : 0xfa800000 (phys), 0xd0800000 (log) klimit : 0xc038c66c MSR : 0x00003030 HID0 : 0xc001c086 - end - I also tried to roll my own 2.4.14 kernel, with the same results. Also, is there a search interface for the mailing list archives? That would probably save me (and everyone else) a ton of time. -- Joe Manojlovich manojlov@cse.psu.edu "And a thermostat on a home furnace... is that supposed to go to 5000 degrees, do you think?"
