I got kind of side tracked before trying this and managed to wipe out my Linux setup. DOH!

However, it gave me opportunity to do a new install. This time I decided on Debian wheezy Beta 4 net install.
I used the 3.5.7 kernel to do the install and it worked perfect, it even used the 3.2.0-4 modules when it came time to reboot into the system, after which I copied the 3.5.7 modules over from a USB stick. And,,,it all worked with only the 6850 in the X1000.

I'm also happy to report, after some user setup, that the SBLive! (0220) is working great. :-)
Yes, I finally got round to applying your patch... sorry for the delay!
I'll get back to messing about with the kernel in a few days, thanks again guys.
Let us know how it goes..

cat /proc/ikconfig/config
Change that to:
zcat /proc/config.gz
and it works. This is how I got the base config for my own kernel build. :-)
Thanks for that.. I take it the patch I created applied OK then?

Of course my install creates more work for you guys. Sorry :-(

(I have not got around to attempting this yet)

After the installation

I did the install with a ATI 6850 card, and glxgears is slow.

Again, sorry about that. :roll:

i have tried Debian and MintPPC (kernel 3.5.7) and each time I have a 160-170 fps with glxgears and my 6670
i must have missed something...

Thank you for your advices

Sure did. Now I have a kernel with NFSv4, KVM host, and Wacom support. :-)

OK!

Did, zcat /proc/config.gz > ./Public/357.config and got the file.

The patch worked just fine, good job.

P.S. Thanks for the mention in the patch file. ;)

Everything stops at "Started Login Service (ok)"
Everything works well until that
Could it be an interaction with that I use the 3.5.7 kernel to install?
And? Does Fedora work with kernel 3.5.7?

I do not know. I gave up. I could not go any further. I could install but can not log in to the system.

Could you try to use fedora 17 with kernel 3.10.3-2-ubuntu? It works very well on my X1000. :)

Fedora 17:

Information about Firefox: Firefox 12 and 17 aren't working on Fedora 17 but Firefox 15 works well. You can download Firefox 15 and Xulrunner 15 from the following site: http://ftp-stud.hs-esslingen.de/pub/fed ... /17/ppc64/ :)
