Hi!
After being able to install Debian 12 to my iMac G3, I was hoping to use
Xfce.
However, although Lightdm and all packages were installed correctly,
when X starts, I get this error:
[ 1247.454] (WW) R128(0): Failed to read PCI ROM!
[ 1247.454] (WW) R128(0): Video BIOS not found
how to be successfull the same way with the
iMac G3 ?

Hi all!
I have several PowerPC based computers. One of them is an iMac G3/500 DV SE
(powermac2,2) with 1 GB RAM and 30 GB hard drive.
I've had it with Ubuntu 14.04 LTS but it's out of support already. It
worked fine from boot perspective, and it was using yaboot.

Hi :)
I installed the last offcial Debian 8 iso. Picking "install" and not
"install32" IIUC I have a ppc64 install.
Or maybe not, I don't see a ppc64 package here:
http://archive.debian.org/debian/pool/main/f/firefox-esr/
ppc64 seems the most relevant choice for a G5 to gain some performance

Hi all,
now I could install

But grub would not install.
I can boot into grub.
The partition is (ieee1275/hd,apple3) and I can find the kernel in /boot:

Hi all,
I have an iMac G5, PowerMac 12,1 PPC970FX, Platform: PowerMac 12,1 MacRISC4
Power Macinstosh, Memory 1GB+384MB.
I had installed Ubuntu 16.04.7 LTS and it was running fine. Now I need newer

Another update. I used the patch as provided by Adrian. I rebuilt the
driver and installed it on the iMac G3 / 500. The patch makes X work

for the moment
Hi Adrian,
Here is a follow up on the iMac project. I built xserver-xorg-video-r128 from
the buster source (6.12.0). I did not patch the source yet. After installing
the driver and trying to start X I get the following:
[ 259.895]
X.Org X Server 1.20.8
X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0

You might need this patch [2].
