Hello, Back in December I was able to get sid running on my eMac using a net install image and a custom EDID binary. This is necessary due to the strange timings of the eMac monitor. Furthermore it is necessary to put the EDID binary into the initramfs by creating a hook, otherwise the eMac monitor refuses to switch to the new mode when an incorrect mode was used during the initial boot. I posted about this on the Linux on powerpc macs facebook group and have been supporting it there [1].
I wondered if it is possible to directly support eMac machines by supporting this in the installer and taking the necessary steps during installation? Is this something that you would be happy to have upstream? I do not know how to go about adding this but I am happy to do testing (including committing to release testing) or try to add the support myself if you could provide some pointers? Thanks very much, Ed Robbins [1] https://www.facebook.com/groups/ppclinux/permalink/437344776940132/
