Hi Eric
You'll probably get better response to this on debian-powerpc.
It's a while since I configured X on an oldworld mac. Basically, you
do as root:
dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86
If you google for 'XFree86 on 7300' you may find answers for the
various settings but the more info about your system you have the easier
it will be. The ouptut of lspci will be useful. If you have the Mac OS
system profile printed out it will also help. Your mouse device will probably be
/dev/input/mice.
Incidentally the new sarge installer will probably autodiscover most of
your hardware:
