I've got a 2002 15' imac, and when i start up X11, the colors are messed up, and X crashes unless i have 8bit set for my depth. Everything works fine on the live cd, and i've checked the the config file on the live cd veruses the one on my harddrive, and they look similer, so i'm gussing that the live cd has extra modules compiled into it or something. Is there anything extra that i need to be able to use my geforce 2 mx?

Driver "nv"
Driver "fbdev"

You select two drivers for your geforce2MX. You had better delete 'Driver "fbdev"'.

I use 12' pb 867, and with fbdev X server was crashed.

(Sorry for my poor English.)

I've got it installed, I used it to make the config files. I'll run the search thought, and tell you what it finds.

Tryed to use the Configer the come with XFree, and got the same result as using Xeasyconf. I think that it might have somthing to do with what all is installed. Maybe I borked something when setting up my kerel, or installing X11? Maybe I might try installing the behn kernel. Any sugestions?
