Running the Xserver at an Apple Workgroup Server 7250/120



Hi,

Last Week i installed Debian at an old Apple Workgroup Server 7250/120.
Anything works fine so far except of the xserver. Well I know it won't
be the fastest, but I want it to work!

Well my problem(s) are, that:
1. I can't find any detailed specification of the mashine's
graphic-card. I do only know, that it is on board.
2. dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 wants me (as PPC User) to specify
not only the driver but also the PCI Address.

At least, I am not sure if the graphic card is a PCI-Device at all.

So here I stand and have no idea, what to configure to get the xserver
to run. Not the driver and not the PCI-Address!

Xfree86 -scanpci -vv delivers me 3 PCI devices. One is the PCI Bridge
(Apple Bandit) and one is an ISDN Card.
The third one is a "Apple Grand Station" which I expect to be the
graphic card (but I am not sure) I tried any availivle driver at
dpkg-reconfigure at the address of this device (00:16:00) but none had
worked.

Can anyone tell me what I need to do to get the X to run?
Or probably at least what I could probably to to find out, what to do?

I'd be really happy about any help!
Thanks
Sancho Fock
