Installing from any 6.06 Dapper Drake based licecd I have encountered the following problems with xorg.conf:
- Monitor section does not define values good for internal CRT monitor leaving a black screen entering X. Here is a working Monitor section:
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "iMacDVMonitor"
HorizSync 60-60
VertRefresh 60-75
Modeline "1024x768" 78.740 1024 1056 1152 1312 768 769 772 800 +HSync +VSync
EndSection
- Option UseFBDev "true" does not work from livecd due to SIGSEGV reported as https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-ati/+bug/63072
- Lowmemory freeze because livecd installer turns off the swap. I did 'cp /bin/true /sbin/swapoff on the ramdisk as a workaround.
I think a new livecd is needed to save more of these old iMacs from the recycle bin. Please do! I now finally have Xubuntu on my loved 400 MHz grape iMac, It's alive!

I also had this problem with the installer:
