1 Hi all,
2
3 So, I have successfully boot install with a working Xorg under nouveau.
4 From my understanding 4.0+ kernels are not properly reading DCB tables. As
5 evident in these post: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=91319
6 and https://lists.debian.org/debian-powerpc/2015/06/threads.html . So, it's
7 safe to say that I have a working drm with 3.18.16. Gentoo and Debian are
8 the only one's running nouveau with 6600LE. I have a working config that
9 just works. Users with a G5 and nvidia 6600LE can benifit from this but, I
10 don't have no x1900XT. I plan on getting one in the near future to test it
11 out but for now we have a working desktop with nouveau.
