Re: Radeon driver not works on PPC with X800

Also see if creating an xorg.conf file and setting Accel to False will get it working.

Nope, did not work, still black screen. I installed all the packages (except the DBG ones), but still got a black screen after boot. With or without modesetting.

You might want to look at this message, too:

https://lists.debian.org/debian-powerpc/2016/06/msg00140.html

It links to 3rd party ums-debs that might still work.

 Yeah, i
 noticed it and even if it wasn't about X800, i tried it.
 However, if i enabled the radeonfb, then it was a permanent
 freeze, even with nomodeset.

 Yes, and
 the FAQ has info on fixing the messed up colors by enabling
 the Radeon framebuffer and enabling 24-bit colors with a
 xorg.conf file.  It doesn't specifically mention the
 X800, but your symptoms sound similar to those suffered by
 certain iBooks and eMacs noted in the FAQ.
