| 18:41.19 | Hedonista | pahartik, this is the first initial install, i simply used the "spin" called the debian 6.0.1 ppc-xfce |
| 18:42.08 | Hedonista | ssh -X xclock works |
| 18:42.30 | Hedonista | btw its on a kvm if that matters |
| 18:46.34 | Hedonista | this box has an ati rage video card |
| 18:46.57 | Hedonista | but i dont see the driver loaded in the modules section |
| 18:47.38 | Hedonista | and the default depth section has no resolution |
| 18:47.45 | Hedonista | can i fill that in ? |
| 18:51.14 | Hedonista | r128 is the driver name is there a module called r128 i can add to the mudules section? |
| 19:10.04 | Hedonista | i added the "radeon" module to list to load added my monitor info as well |
| 19:10.39 | Hedonista | enabled the non-free repository , installed ati drivers |
| 19:11.02 | Hedonista | so now should i do Xorg -reconfigure or whatever? |
| 21:11.28 | simonrvn | -configure |
