Re: Jessie on iMac G5 : advise needed about GPU setup
Hi friend,
Yes I’ve it running on fresh install without any modif (however my integrated ati X600 needs to load non-free firmware and then breaks OpenGL engine) but regarding your hardware it’s probably due to your gpu adding card (?)
Did you check Jessie HCL ?
Note : I’ve choose Mate desktop environnement (gnome3=not working, kde=not trying, xfce=ok but not satisfied)
Regards,
Christophe De Natale
