ATI mach64 driver disappeared
Hello, I did a major dist-upgrade on my old iBook G3 clamshell. It wasn't without minor hiccups... perhaps also because I didn't do it in many months. I suppose open-jdk and all the related java studd don't work properly because the failed to configure, however, I never used them but were only a suggested dependency of the TeX system, so I removed them from now. Some good space saving on the small SSD I have. My major problem is that the Xorg ATI mach64 "legacy" driver disappeared. How can I get it back? The apt-get apparently unistalled the old one and no new package is in the repositories. Riccardo

However, there is an upstream patch available that fixes the issue plus there is also a newer upstream version available [2] which should fix the problem as well [3]. @Adrian: Could you update the upstream version to 6.9.7?

Indeed, you were faster than me. https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/xserver-xorg-video-mach64 Lists exactly 1005462 as drop out reason. Just as a test, I tried to get the last package available here: http://ftp.ports.debian.org/debian-ports/pool-powerpc/main/x/xserver-xorg-video-mach64/ but installation will fail: dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of xserver-xorg-video-mach64: xserver-xorg-video-mach64 depends on xorg-video-abi-24; however: Package xorg-video-abi-24 is not installed. We are now at abi-25. So a rbuild with the fix is needed. Riccardo
