I have just installed debian on my mac and when i tried to startx it just said "no screens found" and i have had a look at my XF86config and i don't know what to do to it or what to do next please help me! im running the stable branch version 3.0 r2 and i have a 400mhz g3 and an ati rage with ati rage kernel modules installed aswell


EDIT: This is a part of my error log
(WW) R128:No mathing Device Section for instance (BusID PCI:0:16:0) found
(EE)No devices detected

i then ran lspci and found that my desplay adapter has a busid of 0:10:0 how do i change it to this?

You can try using xf86config to configure it. Great step-by-step instructions can be found here: http://www.bitbenderforums.com/vb22/...?postid=313121 Note: the instructions are for Slackware, but the same utility is found in Debian.

I tried it and i still got the same error i need to edit the Busid from 0:16:0 to 0:10:0 how would i do this because that utility failed to do this.

Take a look at this post: http://lists.debian.org/debian-power.../msg00475.html

I have reinstalled debian ppc using the unstable tree with a more up to date version of xfree 4.3 and i have followed the advise here and i get this error now:

Skipping "/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/fonts/libspeedo.a:libspencode.o" No symbols found
(EE) R128(0): Cannot read V_BIOS (5)

*** If unresolved symbols were reported above, they might not
*** be the reason for the server aborting


my graphics device section in XF86Config-4 looks like this:

Section "Device"
Identifier "Standard VGA"
VendorName "Unknown"
BoardName "Unknown"
Driver "vga"

Section "Device"
Identifier "ati rage 128"
Driver "ati"
Option "UseFBDev" "true"

I am having the same problem with my G3 Pismo. Did anyone find a solution to this since this tread was first opened? I am using x.org with Ubuntu 5.04.
