Installing Debian on Imac (powerpc G3) - Bus id graphics adapter
I have installed Debian on an Imac (powerpc G3) and now i want to start KDM : /etc/init.d/kdm start. He does not start, so i wonder if i have choosen a wrong bus-identifier for the display (graphics) controller (or card). While installing, i gave in : PCI:0:16:0.
Is that not ok and how can i correct that ?
On the prompt, giving 'lspci', i get :
000:00:10.0 Display controller: ATI Technologies Inc Rage 128 RL/VR AGP
Thank you for helping !

The Bus ID is completely optional.
Just run again the X configuration utility and leave it blank this time :
In your case I believe the Bus ID should be PCI:0:1:0, but I would rather leave it blank.Code:dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86

Thank you ! I tried the different options.
Maybe there is another problem.
The KDM does not start. Only a black screen for some seconds.
The installation program says that if you have an powerpc than you have to fill in the 'bus id'.
Why is that ?
I hope someone has another helpfull suggestion.
