Debian and Radeon 8500

["larsi" <larsi@macnews.de>]

Hello,

I'm from Germany, so my English won't be the best but I hope you'll
understand my concern.

I'm thinking about buying an ATI Radeon 8500 (PC-model), flash it with
a Mac-ROM in order to use it in my G4/400/GBitEthernet. But I would
like to use Debian, too. But does Debian (3.0) work with a flashed
Radeon 8500? Or are there still a lot of problems to get this thing
working?

And  what about Java on Debian? Are there problems with der JRE or JDK?

Best wishes,

Lars, Germany
