Colony 3 fails to start X on Aluminum Powerbook

[John Nowak]

Unlike in Colony 2, Colony 3 does not ask me for my graphics driver. When it
attempts to start X, it fails. I need to kill X and GDM, edit xorg.conf, change
the driver to "ati", change the bus ID to "PCI:0:16:0", add the proper
resolutions in (1280x854), and then restart GDM. (I discovered this through
sheer luck.) Even then, my mouse wheel on my Kensington Trackball, which
previously worked fine under Colony 2, did not work.

Colony 2 live worked fine (when it asked for my graphics driver, which it no
longer does in 3).
In Colony 3, it reports that it cannot start gdm. I have to kill X and gdm. I
then must go and
edit xorg.conf, change the driver to ati, the bus to PCI:0:16:0, and add the
resolution
1280x854 for the depths. I then restart gdm, and everything is fine.

I commented the parts I changed in order to get it to work. As you can see, it
had the wrong Bus ID and set the driver to "sis" instead of "ati". It did not
detect my kensington pro mouse like Colony 2 did as well.
