X config on a G3 iMac
Yo, I'm trying to configure X, I'm using an iMac with the built-in monitor. when I 'dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86' it asks me for the BusID of my monitor. On another tty, I used the 'lspci' command to find it, I converted it to decimal and used that, BUT, it won't let me (Incorrect format or something), It only lets me use a single digit. I've cycled through the config several times cycling through 0-9 but it still says it can't find my screen!!!

[Formac Watchandgo DTV] is it supported on debian?
Dear all, I bought a Formac Watch-and-go PCMCIA card to watch digital terrestrial tv on my own powerbook.

And Thanks to you, Matthias, too, for asking: I had a similar problem not on Gnome (that I essentially have not installed) but on KDE: Now, after upgrading to the latest udev/hal packages from unstable everything seems fine again on KDE: For example when I plug in a SCSI disk now via Firewire the disk appears as an icon on the KDE desktop. Unmounted, as I need it, but mounting it on KDE is nothing more than right-clicking the unmounted disk (icon) and then choosing to mount it. Which was not possible, IIRC, before upgrading hal/udev: no disk icons on the desktop at that time, so without a chance to mount the device with a simple mouse click as an underprivileged user.

Re: [Formac Watchandgo DTV] is it supported on debian?
Stefano, Probably a better would be "Is the card supported by the linux kernel ?" If you boot up the system with the card in the PCMCIA slot, and run the lspci command, you should see an entry saying what chip/hardware is in the Formac card. And if you look through the kernel sources (and should most likely find support in $LINUX_KERNEL_SRC_DIR/drivers/media, or a directory with a similar name), and find support for this chip in there, it might work. Of course, a lot of these drivers were written for x86 or x86-64 support and may need "some modifications" to work properly on all platforms ... cheers vinai On Wed, 19 Apr 2006, Stefano Melchior wrote: Dear all, I bought a Formac Watch-and-go PCMCIA card to watch digital terrestrial tv on my own powerbook.

Problem with Acard 6280M (OldWorld Mac)
I managed to install Debian 3.1r1 on /dev/hde2. At the end of the installation process, Debian tells me it cannot install the quik bootloader. So I just finished without quik. I set "root=/dev/hde2 devfs=mount,all rw" as kernel parameters in BootX (/dev/ram0 works for the installer) but now it seems the System cannot find the boot device. My guess is that the module required for the Acard 6280M is not loaded. The installer gives the hint to use the Kernel and the Ramdisk in /dev/hde2/boot for booting. But how?
