I have just done a fresh install of LMDE on my G4 Macintosh and straight away X is refusing to start. startx is returning the following errors:

Code:
(EE) Unable to find a valid framebuffer device
(EE) R128(0): Failed to open framebuffer device
(EE) Screens(s) found, but none have a usable configuration.

Fatal server error:
no screens found

xinit: No such file or directory (errno 2): unable to connect to X server
xinit: No such process (errno 3): Server error


This is not a specific issue with LMDE as the same error occured when trying to start a GUI in squeeze also.

I would appreciate any help anyone can give with this...
