With Sarge on a G3 iBook, it was simply that the X configuration tool failed to detect the correct PCI bus address for the video card. Run lspci and check the address of the video card (remember this is in Hex) [on my G3 it is 0.10.0]; then run "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86" and at the bus address scheme enter the bus address you got from lspci, this time in decimal (e.g. PCI:0:16:0). Leave everything else unchanged. -- +------------------------+-------------------------------+---------+ | James Tappin | School of Physics & Astronomy | O__ | | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | University of Birmingham | -- \/` | | Ph: 0121-414-6462.
