Good news on this issue: Adrian Bunk has kindly stepped up and is working on re-adding
the legacy driver packages to the Debian archive [1]. So users will be able to use
X on the affected machines in the near future again.
If anyone knows about some particular fixes that are required for the drivers - such
as for the eMac - it would be nice if we could assemble a list of these fixes so they
can be integrated into the Debian packages later. The fixes should, of course, get
upstreamed whereever possible.
Thanks,
Adrian
