Comments:
<0> thething, I'm on a mac, I don't think I have a video card...
<1> perhaps because I go not only by thought and concepts, but by feelings and experiences.
<2> stew: do you plan to keep updating Status/Stable each DSA?
<3> xxyyzz: ok. Then do the dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86
<0> Selected the desired X server driver
<0> None of them say "macintosh" :(
<3> xxyyzz: What are your options?
<4> thingfish, I spot the bull****, you (this seems to be my honest observation, no offence intended, with all due respect sir) regurgitate what your guidance councelor told you in highschool in the 50s. You were fed bull and you spit it out. (very crude way of putting it, but no malintent here, off topic, I should shut up)
<0> ati, chips, fbdev, glint, imstt, mga, nv, s3, s3virge, savage, sis, tdfx, trident, vga
<5> stoned: wtf can you write this properly
<4> I'd rather not
<4> I'm on the brink of pissing people off
<4> heh, me and my big mouth/fingers/keyboard
<0> jjazz, should I just pick the first one?
<1> stoned: funny you should suggest that, because all my life I have made it a point not to pay much attention to what other people tell me.
<3> xxyyzz: one sec, please.
<0> k
<6> xxyyzz: i don't know if you'll have this comand yet... but try lspci
<0> It worked
<7> xxyyzz: define "worked"
<4> thingfish, thats the way one should always be anyway
<1> I mean, I can't be taught anything without decontructing it.
<1> *deconstructing
<4> thingfish, my conclusions are based on ***umptions and pre suppositions, and mostly, I don't know you
<8> does anyone know a location for the freenx 1.5 ebian pkg?
<4> thingfish, I am an idiot, and I fully admit it, I apologize
<6> xxyyzz: lspci worked? did it give you any clue as to what video card you have?
<1> oh listen, I know all about idiocy, stoned my friend ;)
<0> I will put it in pastebin
<3> bnovc: Try seveas's ubuntu repo. Should work fine. Not sure about the version, though.
<6> k
<4> heh
<8> jjazz, have a source.list line for that one?
<4> thingfish, well I'm glad I've a friend now!
<3> bnovc: google is your friend. sorry
<0> http://pastebin.com/727359 <- I don' think it says anything about the video card
<0> I don't think I have a video card...
<4> lol
<9> jjazz: do you know bobbitt?
<0> 'Cause the iMac is all in one...
<4> priceless
<0> The screen and speakers and everything is built in
<7> xxyyzz: i'm pretty sure you do
<6> xxyyzz: you have an ATI Rage 128
<3> streuner: nope, sorry
<0> So pick 'ati' as my option?
<4> xxyyzz, you're on an imac, cool, I've got a powerbook running sarge since it was in testing
<9> !bobbitt
<4> I've never updated
<10> Remember Lorena Bobbitt? Remember what she did to her husband's woody? Well, when you install binary packages from different branches onto your woody, you get the same result. Same goes for Sarge.
<3> xxyyzz: I have no clue what video card you should choose. I am clueless in the land of macs. Sorry.
<11> hello
<0> stoned, I can't get sarge to run yet, but when I have the GUI I'm sure I will like it :)
<3> xxyyzz: Maybe google can help you.
<9> same goes with different distros
<11> i got a kestion: what text editor is (one of) the best
<4> xxyyzz, the video drivers will give you ****? How did you boot it with debian though?
<6> xxyyzz: you listd options earlier... choose ati
<9> !start a editor war
<9> !start an editor war
<10> xemacs blows
<0> stoned, I put in a CD, and held down: APPLE+OPTION+SHIFT+DELETE
<4> xxyyzz, wait nevermind, I've never used an imac or a Mac os greater than 9 on powerbooks
<8> jjazz, breezy or dapper?
<0> It says: Please enter the video card's bus identifier
<12> what dos this affect when p***ed to the kernel parameters at boot : noapic acpi=off
<4> ahh, for os8/9 and below, you have to hack open firmware to make it boot with anything but a mac cd
<3> bnovc: Whichever has the version you want. Shouldn't matter. The freenx packages don't depend on much except other nx packages, IIRC.
<4> those OS will not boot anything but mac themselves
<9> fourat: heh, it disable ACPI?
<7> xxyyzz: leave it blank
<11> what text editor is (one of) the best
<0> Enter the amount of memory (in kB) to be used by your video card.
<9> fourat: and APIC?
<7> xxyyzz: leave it blank too
<4> xxyyzz, just hit enter
<12> streuner, it's clear, but what is ACPI and APIC ?
<0> Use kernel framebuffer device interface?
<8> jjazz, does apt-get automatically find the highest version out of the mirrors in source.list
<1> xxyyzz: really you should think about switching over to #debian-ppc or #debianppc.
<4> xxyyzz, no
<0> I selected "no"
<0> Please select the XKB rule set to use.
<4> just enter
<0> It has "xfree86" already typed...
<9> fourat: ACPI is some strange engergie stuff, and APIC is the one which confuse your box (IRQ)
<0> Please select your keyboard model "macintosh" is typed
<4> if you're not sure of something, just enter, debian usually knows what the best option is
<4> for newbs
<6> hit enter then
<3> bnovc: Yes, it should. I'm not sure I'd leave seveas in my apt sources. You'll pull in other packages that might not play so well with your debian install. Maybe you should just download the .debs and use dpkg to install them.
<9> fourat: /msgdpkg ACPI
<9> fourat: /msg dpkg ACPI
<0> Okay keyboard layout, I selected "us"
<6> yep
<6> us
<0> "Please enter your keyboard variant" <- I will leave that blank too
<6> k
<7> xxyyzz: righto
<4> lol
<0> "Please select your keyboard options" <- blank again?
<4> yes
<0> (I am seeing a trend...)
<4> xxyyzz, have you been paying attention to what I said
<0> "Please choose your mouse port", last time this happened we chose "/dev/input/mice"
<7> xxyyzz: learns
<4> <4> if you're not sure of something, just enter, debian usually knows what the best option is
<9> fourat: you usually don't need APIC, or you have a high-end box, and ACPI for laptops...
<0> Should I pick /dev/input/mice again?
<6> yep
<0> Emulate 2 button mouse?
<4> you have to
<6> i think so.. for a mac
<0> My mouse only has one button...
<6> k.. then 2 button emu
<8> jjazz, all the mirror urls take me to webpages not download lists?
<4> you can buy a 2+ button mouse for mac
<0> "Enable scroll events from mouse wheel?" (I don't have a mouse wheel)
<0> "Enabling this option is harmelss if your mouse has no scroll wheel"
<6> say no
<4> right now it will turn your shift or ctrl key + click into right click
<4> or some other variation
<0> Enter an identifier for your monitor "Generic Monitor" <- Enter?
<6> yep
<7> yep
<3> bnovc: Try using wget to grab this: http://free.linux.hp.com/~brett/seveas/freenx/pool/dapper-seveas/freenx/freenx_0.4.4+0.4.5-4ubuntu1_all.deb
<0> Is your monitor an LCD device?
<0> (It's an iMac, and it's blue)
<4> man c'mon, you should know that
<4> lol
<0> No?
<6> is it a laptop?
<8> jjazz, thanks :)
<0> This computer is, the Debian one isn't
<6> then no... it's not an lcd
<3> xxyyzz: You have a crt, not an lcd.
<3> bnovc: np
<8> says my nxagent is outdated now so i guess i have to find a deb for that too
<0> "Please choose a method for selecting your monitor characteristics"
<3> bnovc: If it complains about other packages, go to http://free.linux.hp.com/~brett/seveas/freenx/dists/dapper-seveas/freenx/ and look for the .debs
<6> This is the tricky part!
<8> k
<0> "Simple"?
<6> pick 'advanced'
<3> yes
<6> lol
<0> Advanced?
<0> Are you sure?
<3> onetinsoldier: you're a masochist, aren't you? :P
<6> pretty sure.. you can try simple if you want
<13> Is anyone aware of a Debian userland port to OS X?
