Re: Power Mac G5: Attempting to get 2D acceleration with nouveau and 6800 Ultra

Can you paste an example of the yaboot config so I can see that too? What kernel version should I try building for my best chance of this working? Is the 3.16.7 version I built too old? If I grep my kernel config file for nouveau, I turn up nothing...any other suggestions? Logan On Wed, Jan 13, 2

Re: Power Mac G5: Attempting to get 2D acceleration with nouveau and 6800 Ultra

Sorry, forgot to click reply all: Brock, It's Jessie 8.2. I looked at yaboot.conf and just changed the vmlinux and initrd.img symlinks to point to my newly installed kernel in /boot. This part is working because upon reboot a uname -r reveals my new kernel is running. Full dmesg log: http://past

Re: Power Mac G5: Attempting to get 2D acceleration with nouveau and 6800 Ultra

Would you be able to post the full dmesg log? Might help track this one down a bit quicker. I'm assuming you installed a version of Jessie (8.0 - 8.2)? You updated your yaboot.conf to boot from the new kernel (or you are specifying it from boot yaboot menu at startup)? Thanks, B-rock On Wed, Ja

Power Mac G5: Attempting to get 2D acceleration with nouveau and 6800 Ultra

Hey everyone, I picked up a dual G5 2.5GHz Power Mac the other day. It has the AGP NVIDIA GeForce 6800 Ultra card installed. I was hoping to get the nouveau driver with 2D acceleration working with it, but I have been struggling. I stumbled on this article here: http://powerpcliberation.blogspot

Thanks for your feedback Len. You explained how the glibc optimisations work in a manner making it easy for me to understand. Much appreciated! Regards, Peter
