Hopefully this is the right list to ask these questions. If not, gently refer me to the proper list. :-)
I've just installed Debian 3.1 r1a on my Apple iBook. I bought it in 2002, so from what I've been able to gather from online docs, it's an iBook 2.2; although I'm not sure that's the case nor where to verify it. I used the network install CD, and installed only the base system, plus issued these two commands as root: apt-get install telnetd apt-get install x-window-system My problem is that when I issue the command "startx", I get a graphics display with a mouse cursor that looks right, but everything else is just a mess. It seems the graphics "slant" to the right. I'm an experienced computer user with a degree in Computer Science, but my Unix/Linux knowledge is fairly limited. This is the crux of my problem; I can probably understand the docs if I read them, but I know next to nothing about X Windows nor where to begin looking. Can anybody help me with getting X to look right? :-) Thank you in advance for any assistance you can provide.
