G4 PowerPC Debian Squeeze


Debian Squeeze freezes with blurred image and no access to other terminals after installation or internet upgrade from Lenny. Lenny works fine.

So how could Debian Squeeze be installed or be upgraded from Lenny on PPC without this problem?

thanks

Was fiddling with yaboot. lol. It was a xorg thing all along.

Could you post this on the "Put Your Xorg.conf" so that others could use it.

thanks
