| 05:31.33 | katina | Hello all. |
| 05:36.22 | katina | I've recently gotten debian lenny installed on an ibook g3 (dual usb). |
| 05:38.33 | katina | My problem is that the whole display (800x600 res.) only uses some of the screen. A portion of a duplicate of it is displaying under it and there's a vertical black bar taking up 1/4 of my monitor. |
| 05:39.08 | katina | I also can't get 1024x768 resolution. |
| 05:39.46 | katina | I've googled trying to get the 1024 resolution, but none of the answers worked for me. |

| 07:44.04 | katina_ | hm. thanks, pahartik |
| 07:44.45 | katina_ | what am I to do with the output? |
| 07:44.49 | katina_ | I forgot to mention that the resolution in the command line is fine. |
| 07:46.14 | katina_ | X is where my problem is. |
| 07:58.43 | pahartik | katina: Have you tried to define "Monitor" and "Screen" in "/etc/X11/xorg.conf" or to use "xrandr"? |
| 08:03.35 | katina | Yes. I have. Will try again in a bit though. |
| 08:08.59 | pahartik | katina: This is how I activate external monitor on iBook G4 for 60 kHz 75 Hz 1024x768: "xrandr --newmode default 78.8 1024 1040 1136 1312 768 769 772 800", "xrandr --addmode VGA-0 default", "xrandr --output VGA-0 --mode default", "xrandr --output VGA-0 --right-of LVDS" |

| 10:08.28 | pb3400c | Been having issues with a Debian 3.1 net install on my PowerBook 3400c. I have no issues getting the installer running via BootX, the issue is with the mirror. I have attempted to utilize both http://archive.debian.org/debian/dists/Debian-3.1/ and a local mirror for the installation and each fails stating a bad network connection or bad release file on the mirror. Any insight into what the issue may be? |
| 10:33.18 | pb3400c | Additionally, I can verify that my network connection is valid as the DHCP address given to the machine is pingable from another machine on the network. |
| 10:52.17 | katina | woot! Found an ibook g3's xorg.conf and copied some of it. Got the full screen and 1024x768 resolution now! Thanks for your help, pahartik. :D |
| 10:52.46 | katina | ...heh. I no longer see 800x600 as an option now... no biggie. |
| 11:02.35 | pahartik | pb3400c: Have you looked at messages on log, to see if there is anything in detail? |
| 11:46.24 | pb3400c | pahartik: In the syslog I am seeing the connection out to the mirror and the server returning a 404, this is for multiple mirrors. |
| 11:52.10 | pb3400c | pahartik: Through the syslog I see why it was returning a 404, my manual mirror configuration was incorrect. I have corrected this and have been able to successfully download the Release file from the mirror, however I am still unable to download the installer files. Checking the syslog again after this failure reports the following: anna[6429]: WARNING **: bad d-i Packages file |
