Wierd Video upon Install Attempt on Pismo G3 PB

[gphaze]

I tried to install hardy heron onto a G3 Powerbook (PPC), and got as far as seeing some video with what could have been the HH color scheme, but what I saw were jagged horizontal lines which slowly crept upward...never saw with clarity to know if I even got a "desktop" and could not click or double click on anything with intent.

Is there something about the Pismo which prevents an install of 8.04?

thanks!

The last message from rjt1000 seems to indicate a manual change of horizontal and vertical freqs in /etc/X11/xorg.conf. Take a look at that Debian user's xorg.conf too in the link if this doesn't work...

One of the few threads I've seen with a successful Pismo. Let us know if it works!
