| Much depends on the graphics card you are using, for older radeon cards you use the radeon driver that comes with Xorg. Just run the tool used in Ubuntu to generate the Xorg file, at least one of Xorgconfig and Xorcfg should come along, run one of those from console. |

I try to play with xorg config ..and i get niminal graphics...i delete the content generated in xorg.conf and everything is go back to normal.
I think is the intrepid_boot_peg file necesary to boot in ubuntu on my Peg is the cause..maybe later appears a new boot file for this.
All the other function in intrepid works |

I haven't played with ubuntus, I'm one of the Gentoo users here and at the moment my Peggy is running without a graphical environment, as it's working as a server.
The person who has most ubuntu experience here is Kozz, but he seems to be busy working.
I think nowadays the Gentoo PPC cd do work on the Peggy with the default kernel (dholm, correct me if I'm wrong). |

Nowadays no explicit driver is specified in the xorg.conf file in Ubuntu systems, instead the pci id of the card is used to search the driver database located in /usr/share/xserver-xorg/pci/. That directory contains a file for each driver in X and each file simply contains a list of pci ids that are known to work with that driver. If your card isn't found it should fall back to vesa. But it is indeed possible to override that logic by explicitly specifying a driver to use in xorg.conf.
Can you provide the output of the command:
| Code: |
sudo lshw -class display -numeric
|
so I can see what graphics card you have? |

Btw, I found and old xorg.conf file I have left which you can use as reference. I haven't used Ubuntu on my Pegasos since feisty (7.04) and I think that file was last used then but it should still be almost the same.
http://kozz.org/files/xorg.conf
If I remember correctly the line:
| Code: |
Option "BusType" "PCI"
|
is essential for it to work. |
