Please note that this will break again with the upcoming changes to the
input device code. /dev/input/mice and IMPS/2 is the combination to use
with the recent kernels.
i had the same problems before, so i looked in the XF86Config file and
there are two lines for me i could found in section pointer for the
mouse:
default was busmouse and /dev/mouse
and i changed to
busmouse and /dev/adbmouse
and the xserver was running.

I saw a couple things in your "Screen" section that should be changed. For the
sake of argument, I will assume that you have at least 2MB of video RAM. That
being said, here are my suggestions:

Below is what the 'device' and 'screen' sections of XF86Config look
like. As I said in another post, I have not altered this at all.

The screen section of my XF86Config file looks like
this:
# Server for the Linux Frame Buf
Check the Screen section of your XF86Config file. I saw the same thing happen
with a powermac clone. The driver was set to "accel". Try changing it to
"fbdev". A word of extreme caution: anXious did not do a good job of setting
up XF86Config for the powermac clone's Keyboard section either.

Hi,
I've just installed Debian on my PowerPC (Motorola machine.
Used to run NT and later AIX - no Mac).
I can't start X, though.
It says /dev/fb0 - no such device.
The device definition is there (Along with fb0current and
fb0autodetect - up to fb7) and I tried them all.
I tried fbset, but it
