[lubuntu] imac g3 tried many xorg.conf configs... any more ideas?

g3 slot loading imac flower power

I'm able to boot to yaboot and to my command line... but i cannot get X to start up. Im checking lightdm it doesnt seem to have any errors in the log. My xorg.0.log file is throwing errors for Bus error at a certain locatation [x0xx000000] for example.
It then says aborting x server signal 7 bus error.

I have tried inputting the specs for the imac based on other imac examples. i was able to log in and
Code:

sudo nano /home/lubuntu/xorg.conf.new
i edit my setting and hit ctrl+o to save file. I know its saving correctly. i checked the xorg.0.log to see what xorg.conf and it does use 'xorg.conf.new'

I even changed my yaboot parameters to add
Code:

radeon=modeset.0
and tried that...

I even tried booting using yaboot parameter
Code:

video=offb:off
and all that did was freeze on my open firmware screen before yaboot comes up.

Any ideas?? I reallly want to get lubuntu up and running.. my kids have projects to do for school coming up and i feel really bad that i cant get this thing runng... i dont want to try fedora..
