Status report: It's working now! Thanks to you and Andrew McCall for |
| 10 |
ideas. |

I'm not entirely sure what fixed it, because I enabled more video options |
| 13 |
when I installed 2.4.21-ppc-r2 today. I also added "video=0" to the |
| 14 |
options in BootX, and upon startup I suddenly got a full screen of |
| 15 |
scrolling text with a little penguin at the top. He didn't stay long, |
| 16 |
but I thought it was cool anyway. |

Next up, X configuration -- it works over VNC, but of course it needs to |
| 18 |
work locally as well. Xeasyconf gives me a nice and simple interface to |
| 19 |
produce a config file that doesn't work at all: "No screens found". Oh, |
| 20 |
well... time to hit google again! |

Hm, maybe next weekend I'll tackle bootsplash. ;) |
