Hi Yves,
Here's some info from a user over at Knoppix.net forums that I thought you
might be interested in.
I haven't had much time to try the last tests that we wrote about with pre10
but should be able to do them soon.
Cheers,
Thomas

Using Knoppix-MiB-ppc pre10:
I got X to come up on my 350mhz iMac (I believe it's a Blueberry, probably the
educational bottom-end model at the time.) Boots fine, autodetection seems to
work fine, but startx fails with a line like:
" no device at PCI:0:16:0"
Doing a search, this seems like a common problem with the ATi Rage128.
I had to edit the XF86Config-4 file Device section to get X to appear.
The section ends with:
BusID ="PCI:"
I changed it to
BusID ="PCI:0:16:0"
ChipID = 0x524c
(0x524c being the chip ID reported by Apple System Profiler.) After this,
startx brings up the X background and the "no xsession" error, which I believe
is the correct behavior for this small (157M) version?
Would this indicate some kind of error writing the XF86Config file during
autodetection? The console prints quite a few messages during boot explicitly
identifying the graphics chip, so Knoppix-MiB-PPC must be getting that part
right.
Hope this helps. Thank you and waiting for pre11!
