Hi Debians, some days ago I succeeded in installing Debian on my G3 desktop. There were no special problems beside a uncomplete keyboard map for my french keyboard.
Now I tried to install X from the packages found at Dan's page. The first problem I encounterd were the missing fb devices, but its solved now. But starting X with startx or xinit fails with the following error message: +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ XFree86 Version 3.3.3 / X Window System (protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6300) Release Date: November 18 1998 If the server is older than 6-12 months, or if your card is newer than the above date, look for a newer version before reporting problems.
