I will do an announcement on debian-powerpc now.When I tried this mini.iso on a G4/533MHz "QuickSilver" tower with "ATY Rage128" graphics, I saw the white-on-white problem. So it's not gone away completely.Normal, your aty rage128 is not a radeon, and is thus using whatever driver is using the aty rage128, and thus the white-on-white problem is not gone for you. Can you check which graphic driver you are using, and submit a modification of attilio's patch so you also disable the aty-rage128 driver ?
Rick, IIUC your mails you should have three different PPC boxes for testing *Powermac3,5This is the model already listed in the PPC survey wiki page with you as tester. It's currently marked red (nogo), but your last test was not performed with Sven's patched ISO: could you please try again booting Sven's ISO and update results in the PPC survey page in the case of a success?
*PowerMac3,4This is not listed yet in the PPC survey page yet, but you said you managed to make it work with a littke tweaking, right?
Could you report in PPC survey page how you got this working?In the case you want to disable the ATI128 directfb accelerator, you'll have to add to your directfbrc file
disable-module=ati128 *PowerMac1,1This is not listed yet in the PPC database: i don't know what DFB accelerator (if any) matches that video chip, but you may try this
-boot textual -rm -rf /usr/lib/directfb-0.9.25/gfxdrivers -try the graphical drontend with both linux_input enabled and disabledFor all the three test machines you own, could you please add/update corresponding entries to the PPC database in the wikipage? This will be useful to know what works and what don't and so need further debugging.
thanks a lot Attilio
