Hi,
after a complete new installation from the 7-CD-set Debian3.0 I'm suffering
from problems with XFree86 and the framebuffer. KDE worked together with the
0.93-prerelease of Woody on my 712-100 as well as on my 715-64/ without
problems. After installing the offical Woody (from the CD-set) and do
yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away :-
good morning, folks
after setting up my good old 735 yesterday and pushing debian onto it,
maybe i can help here :-)
first: when the system is coming up, do you see the fb penguin?
if yes, your card is supported
second: apt-get install fbset,
and have a nice day.

Dear Henry,
well done, when the penguin is appearing, everything should be alright :-)
So, the next thing to do is to check the resolution and depth setting in
the XF86Config-4
look for a statement like "Default Depth" or "Depth" accompanied by a
Resolution description "1024x768"
it should say:
