I’d pretty much given up on getting nouveau graphics working on my G5 (I plan
on using it as a headless server anyway, so graphics is not on the critical

Here’s the data on my machine…

Is there a debian package that provides acdcontrol?
I googled it and, from the sourceforge page, it looks like it only sets the
brightness of the backlight. From the looks of the display (see the pictures
in previous email) I don’t think the problem is backlight brightness. It looks
like the
It’s still Sid. I haven’t taken the time to reinstall with Jessie yet. But
it’s in the works!
If I generate an xorg.conf (Shut down X, run “Xorg -configure”) can you help me
with the changes?
Thanks!

Thanks for doing this, Peter!
I have a powermac 11,2 machine, currently running your 3.18.16 kernel. Would
this new 4.3.0 kernel work with it? If so, I can give it a try.
Enjoy!

Hi Peter,
I finally got around (very sorry for the long delay!) to testing your 4.3
kernel on my G5.
But I ran into a snag: The 4.3.0 kernel doesn’t seem to have MD (raid)
configured in.
Is there a reason for that? Could you build one that does?
Thanks!
