Hi Justin, > > That's a well-known issue, and the fix is on the project web page. > Add: > > hw.ofwfb.relax_mmap=1 > > to your /etc/sysctl.conf. Are you sure that helps? On the procject web page is documented that this is for ATI Radeon based systems. Mine is a ATI Rage. In the meanwhile I have cleared the disc and I'm installing Gentoo Linux. This seems to have great Mac support. Even booting should be easy with yaboot. If I'm not satisfied with Gentoo I can return and try this sysctl setting. Are there more well-known issues a newbie has to consider? Jochen
