I have finally been able to install Debian 2.2r5 on my PowerMac 5500
with 15" Apple MultiScan Monitor. I ran xviddetect which detected Mach
64 as the vidoe card. But i haven't been able to start up X.
When i give the command startx, the monitor goes dark for some seconds
and then gives error mess

Like many people, so it seems, I am having many problems setting up X...
Bear with me as I am new to Debian but have some experience in LinuxPPC and
in editing files with vi.

Hi,
Fisrt, is it right, that anXious is a configuration program for powerpc
that replace XF86Setup ?
With anXious and xviddetect my video card is detected as a svga device.
This is also reflected in XF86Config file that is produce with anXious. But
xinit and startx doesn't work.
