Help! At present, I'm using Knoppix 3.3. I'm trying to learn Debian by installing Debian 3.0r2 on my wifes machine, which uses a Matrox G550 video card. The install program asks for the Video card Bus id in "PCI:NN:NN:NN format. I tried typing lspci, which came up with my video card type but no bus numbers. So far, xserver-xfree86 does not work. I do get a promt.
Help would be much appreciated

I changed video cards to ATI Radion 8500LE. Debian xserver-Xfree86 still does not see my agp video card. I ran scan pci and the number are:
Bus 0x1 Device 0x514c Function 0x0000 So far, I have tried:
PCI:1:0:0, PCI:0:0:0, PCI:1:0:0 PCI:1:0:4 and PCI:0:0:4 with no fix. Knoppix see's my card, but Debian installer doesn't seem to work.
