| Hello list,

| I just updated my ibook g3. The monitor broke down, so I upgraded my
harddrive from 20GB to 80GB at the same time. Now, two weeks after the
first time I re-installed gentoo nothing really seems to work any more.
I belive most of the problems are associated with xorg, since that is
the only major diffrence from my last installation (xfree).

stay with xorg since that is what the portage team obiously seems to
think is better for me.

Seeing as how you have java installed, your firefox problems are
probably being caused by the java plugin, which isn't compatible with
newer versions of mozilla/firefox.  Remove the plugin and see if that
fixes your problem.  There currently is no Java plugin available for PPC.

Please try using Xautoconfig-0.22-r2 to set up your Xorg install, the
font directories above are incorrect. Since you have a r128 chipset, try
building only the atyfb128 frame buffer module into your kernel.  For
DRI, you will also need to build in the DRI/DRM module and the ATI
Rage128 DRM module.

Good luck,
