    Re: (X)(L)ubuntu (MATE) 16.04 LTS testing

    Just for info.

    I have figured out, that it is very important to set the BusID correctly. Without the BusID or with the incorrect BusID, Xorg doesn't start with my Radeon HD6870.

    xorg.conf:

    Code:
    BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
    Sometimes I have to set

    Code:
    Option "RenderAccel" "false"
    additionally.

    Hi All,

    Yesterday, I successfully updated my xubuntu PPC and Lubuntu PPC to version 16.04.1 LTS on my USB flash drive.

    Code:
    setenv bootargs "root=/dev/sdd2 quiet ro splash rootdelay=5"
    Code:
    boot -elf -noints -fatfs cf0:vmlinux-4.8
    Code:
    apt-get update
    Code:
    apt-get upgrade
    Screenshots of xubuntu and Lubuntu 16.04.1 LTS PowerPC with the RC2 of kernel 4.8:



    Cheers,

    Christian

    Hi xeno74
    Can you post/share your full xorg.conf?

    No luck either

    I read somewhere that switching from PCI16x to PCI8x may be worth a try? Thought I'd ask before moving it though.
    Hey sorry this is coming a little late but...
    I also had unresolvable issues trying to get any Linux distro to work with my Apple/OpenFirmware Radeon X1900. I think its because the Radeon X1900 is an aftermarket card, flashed with OpenFirmware but xorg expects it to be x86. You'd have much better luck with an Apple/OpenFirmware NVidia 6600 or 6600LE in the PCIe 16X, and then if you want put a Radeon HD in the PCIe 8X. This is what I do, and I'm pretty sure Luigi does also. I'm pretty sure I have a few extra 6600s laying around actually if you need one.
