TiBook Fatal server error: fbdevScreenInit: unable to set screen params (Invalid argument)
X used to run right out of the box in SuSE 7.3 on my TiBook G4. Suddenly I get: Fatal server error: fbdevScreenInit: unable to set screen params (Invalid argument) I have not changed a thing. What has happened? How can I get X going again?

This will not work correctly, you should try 4.2.0 and a recent kernel. http://sdb.suse.de/en/sdb/html/olh_ppc_71_xf420.html Get the binaries from suse73 instead of suse71. Gruss Olaf -- $ man clone BUGS Main feature not yet implemented...
