[iBook G4] X.org configuration issues

enr1x · 2010-01-08 19:26:35

As I posted in an earlier message, I have installed Arch/PPC onto a iBook G4.
I am having trouble configuring X.org, as it always crashes. The configuration I have been trying is the one posted on the "iBook 12" with Arch PPC" article on the wiki, but it makes X.org crash. I have also tried with a minimal xorg.conf, but crashes. The fun thing is, Xorg -configure doesn't work, but running "startkde" or kdm *without xorg.conf* makes everything work, except two finger scrolling.
Can anyone help me configuring the X on this very iBook, please?

The error is:

it's best to run X without xorg.conf these days, synaptics config can be done via hal:

Yes, it is, litemotiv. I have been looking at Synaptics, albeit without any success. Thanks for your reply.
