Which Xserver are you using?

Some times it detects the Correct "Wrong" driver...

Might also be one of the Cards that needs to be hand-massaged to get it past 800x600.

Might just ask on debian-user, debian-powerpc or even debian-x. Also, don't forget to do an Installation Report for the PPC (and your Sparc too) as they need to see the problems as well as "good" results. Even Workarounds in the Install Reports are good to see.

No matter how much Microsoft supporters whine about how Linux and other operating systems have just as many bugs as their operating systems do, the bottom line is that the serious, gut-wrenching problems happen on Windows, not on Linux, not on Mac OS. -- [link|http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1759,1622086,00.asp|source]

Good point

If by 'which X server' you mean the version:

tsinclai@homeg4:~$ dpkg -s xserver-xfree86
Package: xserver-xfree86
Status: install ok installed
Priority: optional
Section: x11
Installed-Size: 15628
Maintainer: Debian X Strike Force <debian-x@lists.debian.org>
Architecture: powerpc
Source: xfree86
Version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-10

I'm already thinking I may have to hand-roll the config file, so I'm still searching.
