Dan-
Excellent advice. I was warned in the install booklet that "Xconfigurator
does not generate a correct Xfree86 config", so I kind of skipped the X
configuration part of the the install, and then copied over it with my old
XF86Config, which was for the same version of X. Am I correct in assuming
that the installer uses Xautoconfig and not Xconfigurator?
Anyway, thanks again--everything is working perfectly (even if I had to do
a Ximian Gnome installation by hand--204 packages! Whew!)
I must say that I have always been impressed by Yellow Dog, as this is my
second Powerbook running YDL (I had a G3 Lombard last summer w/Champion
server 1.2); when I heard that the G4 Titanium was (officially) supported,
I jumped at the chance to get rid of my buggy LinuxPPC installation.
Now I'm off to get the CD audio working!
