XFree86 on PowerBook 3400

[John Tilp <jtilp@resmo.net>]

I've installed Debian 2.2r3 PPC from CDs on a PowerBook 3400c
180Mhz/48MB/1.3G but am unable to get XFree86 Version 3.3.6 working.
When I run startx I get 'No valid modes found' though XF86Config has
lines for 800 x 600 60 Hz which is the vmode for it (see below). Any
clues appreciated.
