Re: eMac video modes
This is great!
I would love to see this implemented in the installer.
I am not a developer, but I could make tests on my eMac.
I saw your post on facebook, I can not download the binary because I am
not registered.
Moreover, I would like to know more about how you made the binary.

Hello,
Back in December I was able to get sid running on my eMac using a net
install image and a custom EDID binary. This is necessary due to the
strange timings of the eMac monitor. Furthermore it is necessary to put
the EDID binary into the initramfs by creating a hook, otherwise the
eMac monitor refuses to switch to the new mode when an incorrect mode
was used during the initial boot. I posted about this on the Linux on
powerpc macs facebook group and have been supporting it there [1].
I wondered if it is possible to directly support eMac machines by
supporting this in the installer and taking the necessary steps during
installation? Is this something that you would be happy to have
upstream? I do not know how to go about adding this but I am happy to do
testing (including committing to release testing) or try to add the
support myself if you could provide some pointers?
Thanks very much,
Ed Robbins
