X server problem Debian PPC (Imac)

el_pajaro! · 10-24-2006, 11:50 AM

I just installed debian sarge on a Imac. Everything was great until I had to make de X server works.

I try:

dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86

But I had no success.

When I start the server I get a blackscreen and the monitor seems to be standby. The output is:

Is my first expirience with a ppc. I try ubuntu but it allways hangs on the installation. With debian the only problem is de X server.

Here I put the output of lspci and cpuinfo, it may help:
