I'm pretty new to Linux, and a little less new to Unix, but I've been stuggling long enough with X11 to have a little understanding of how things work. I'm on a 15" g4 1.5 ghz powerbook, running YDL 4.0
The problem is that whenever I boot up, I get a text login screen that blinks a few times and then goes to a window that says I've got an outdated version of X11, which is not true. I tried startx, and auto configuring it. It just tells me to restart once I've reconfigured my GMD. Nothing works. I reinstalled YDL and changed something which made it worked, tweaked the XF86config file to get 3d acceleration, and that brought me back to square one. I can't remember what I changed before to make it work. When I try to open the config files on command based, it says "Permission denied". I'm logged in as root and sudo does nothing. I looked at the X11 folder while on MacOs, and the XF86config isn't there, and I can't edit anything in the folder.
PLEASE TELL ME WHAT IM DOING WRONG!!!
