    Question xorg-edgers ppa work on a powerpc64

    Hello everyone!

    I was wondering if anyone knew if the xorg-edgers ppa would work on my mac G5 running 10.10 powerpc64. I tried to install it initially (as i was having X11 issues) but i got a blank screen and couldn't drop to terminal from black login (so I un-installed through rescue mode on the live cd and reconfigured X with the regular radeon driver).

    If anyone knows if this package will work on my Os then I might try to re-install as i would like a little 3D support if at all possible (after taking a while to say goodbye to the comfortable world of a gui of course ).

    Many thanks.

    Power mac G5 2.3 ghz (early 2005)
    Radeon 9600
    Ubuntu 10.10 powerpc64 (amongst others)

    No, it doesn't seem like it would work on PowerPC, they only have i386 and amd64 packages available.

    Well, I wouldn't bet on it, since there are no desktop/laptop PowerPCs produced anymore! Apple effectively ended to use those architecture in its products at the start of 2006.

    Greetings.
