Re: EMGD Xorg and Linux.

I'm no expert in this at all, but i know on PowerPC macs with radeon graphics cards, I get an error from Xorg about the (in this case, radeon r100 - r300 series) card not having a VGA Bios - as in this case, the code on the card's ROM is built for OpenFirmware. The radeon drivers are more tolerant t...

Re: Joggler Ubuntu 14.04.05 EMGD + Kernel 4.4.121

However, the main issue for me is that the screen is on all the time and doesn't power down, also i have to manu...
