The saga continues....
It looks like that server wasn't included in the distribution. So, I
downloaded it from the iMac linux site mentioned previously
(http://w3.one.net/~johnb/imaclinux/) and copied it to
/usr/X11R6/bin/XF68_FBDev and ln -s'ed it to /etc/X11/X.
Still no go.
execve failed for /etc/X11/X (errno 13)
The rest of the error is the same.
I'm getting closer....I can feel it.
