Hi Phil,
I am attaching a configuration file that I saved while running
Yellowdog. I was trying Debian and Mandrake and I could not get X going
on neither of those. Yellowdog and Gentoo were the two I could use.
Notice that this XF86config is for a G4 with the Apple studio display.
However, it has some modelines specific to the imac. Also, did you try
the conmmand:
XFree86 -configure
This is what the man pages say about it and it worked great on my computer.
-configure
When this option is specified, the X server loads all
video
driver modules, probes for available hardware, and
writes out
an initial XF86Config(5x) file based on what was
detected.
This option currently has some problems on some
platforms, but
in most cases it is a good way to bootstrap the
configuration
process. This option is only available when the server
is run
as root (i.e, with real-uid 0).
After you do this you might want to check for your mouse because as I
recall the imac has a USB mouse. The input device under Gentoo is
/dev/input/mice.
Good luck,
Alvaro Zuniga
