Hello,
I am a recent "converter" who dropped OSX 10.5 on my iMac
G5 (rev.a with GeForce4 mx graphic), and moved into Debian 6.
Well, I am very happy about the decision, and Squeeze works
greatly for me -- except only a few lack of features HTML5
supporting browser.
So after a month of usage, I've tried installing (and
upgrading from Squeeze) Wheezy. Well, It seems that new
nouveau driver included in Wheezy Xorg server seems to have
some problems. Screen goes out, with yellow lines and broken
color mashes, etc. Thus, can't really do something after the
log-on.
When installing the nouveau driver package, it gives out a
warning; something about kernel version that it needs.
It says that the package (and related kernel module) will need a
kernel version later than 2.6.34RC ... But the kernel version
available in the Wheezy seems to be 2.6.32, and using other
driver is no option, since Wheezy no longer has the old nv
driver.
Can anyone help me understanding the situation? Simply speaking,
iMacG5 (Rev. A) cannot use X windows in Wheezy.
I would be very grateful if anyone can give me any pointer :-)
Thanks!
Gil
