Hi, If anyone succeeded installing XFree86 4.x on Apple FireWire iBook please share his wise experience. XFree86 3.3.6 work in frame buffer mode, 256 colors, but attempt to switch to XFree86 4.x with command switch2xf86-4 fails, or to say precisely, just nothing happens. Also, it would be nice to work in full graphic acceleration mode. I knew that Debian people somehow managed to get it work. Snippet from X86Config Debian attached. Please tell me is it possible to do something similar with sax2 or manual editing of X86Config. Thanks in advance.

I stumbled across a how-to on the suse support database the other day describing how to get suse working on a new ibook. I'm not sure if it tackles your problem specifically, but it was fairly lengthy and dealt with X windows. Worth searching for in the archives if you don't know about it. joss -- http://www.josswinn.org/PGP_key.html
