Hi Riccardo, I've applied similar patches with a recipe resembling the following: - create a file with the patch: mach64.patch - install dpkg-dev: apt-get install dpkg-dev - get and extract the package source: apt-get source xf86-video-mach64 - cd into the directory - apply the patch: patch -p1 -i ../mach64.patch - compile and create the binary package: dpkg-buildpackage -nc -us -uc - install the package: dpkg -i ../xf86-video-mach64_n.n.n_powerpc.deb I might have forgotten something..
Thank you, this with some other help on internet and I built my own package. The patch works! My X server doesn't crash anymore. Can someone make http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-mach64/commit/?id=2c83b465b336a012f2d2716940bf483358388000official in the debian package as a patch until the freedesktop.org makes a new release? I don't know if it is PPC specific, I suppose not.
I now discover more video related problems, but they were there before and after this patch, thus I'll start a new discussion
