Hello Christophe, I do not rightly know which version I have, or how to tell. I do know my machine was purchased in Jan 2003, so I would bet it is a IV. I noticed a TiBook IV page at http://spacepants.org/hw/tibook/ that also said to install from http://people.debian.org/~daenzer/ . However, he was using sid, not woody, and so it was slightly different (xlibmesa3-gl1-dri-trunk instead of xlibmesa3-dri-trunk). Apple System Profiler says my video card name is 'ATI,Xia_A'. The TiBook IV page seems to indicate at the top that the chip set in IV and III are the same. I also fiddled with the Option "UseFBDev" "true" line which the IV page talked about, but it did not seem to make a difference.
