The irony is that on the i686 side, my Thinkpad T42 features the same GPU, and it works just fine with Debian unstable. On Mon, Apr 20, 2020, 10:35 PM Steve Burkhart wrote: > firnware-amd-graphics is installed when firmware-linux-nonfree is > installed, so yes. > > On Mon, Apr 20, 2020, 10:25 PM

ATI Mobility Radeon 7500 and iBook G3's

While we're on the topic of display driver problems, does anyone know why the ATI Radeon 7500 found in many iBook G3 models is non functional with Xorg? After installing the non free firmware, the screen just blinks, and eventually freezes. I've encountered this problem on 500Mhz, 600MHz, 700MHz, 8

Mach64 driver?

A fellow YouTuber by the name of Action Retro has an older iMac than I do that could benefit from the Mach64 driver... has that been dropped too? Would it be too much to ask to bring that back too? I know he’d appreciate it as he tried Adelie Linux and couldn’t get it fully working either. Than

Thank you for supporting our old Macs

I know I’ve been a bit of an annoyance, but I would like to thank all of you responsible for keeping our old PowerPC machines running well after Debian and Ubuntu dropped support for them. Rock on! Sent from my iPad

Re: Patched XOrg to get r128 working?

Wow, I did not expect that. I can understand the need to clean up things, but at the same time it is sad to see how support is gradually lost for old machines. I am sincerely grateful for the work people is doing to bring support back to those old beautiful machines. Thank you Regards A.

Patched XOrg to get r128 working?

Tried everything to get X working (needed working for LXDE), including a new xorg.conf with modelines. NO SUCCESS AT ALL. Another developer (who works on VoidPPC) said r128 needs patched to even work…. I don’t even know what he did to get it working over there.

As somebody already suggested [1], have you tried using a custom xorg.conf iMac-G3-specific, like this one for example [2]? I never used that xorg.conf, is the first one google gave me, but I know that iMac G3 required custom xorg.conf in the past. [1] https://lists.debian.org/debian-powerpc/

Hi Adrian and the List, Another sometime powerpc user here. I successfully used the 2020-04-19 image today to install Debian on a PowerBook6,4. Thanks for making it work. It was cool that the CD showed the GNU icon in the Mac boot menu - I dunno if that is new. I used Guided partitioning to the wh

As the subject suggests, I’m giving the new image made yesterday a go. Currently I’m in need of help getting LXDE running like it should. According to XOrg, no screens can be found. Likewise startlxde is similarly in the same boat. Nothing I have tried has worked. Thank you.
