Spectre660's Linux downloads for the Sam440/460

[javierdlr]

This might be a hilariously stupid question, but i've downloaded the .img file, but how do i extract it (or the likes) to a usb drive? simply copy it or?

Great job!!!!!
Tested using TFTP and no problem loading such kernel.

BTW (I already asked this long time ago) has such kernel 3d support for radeonHD6000 series cards?

@javierdlr

Thanks for testing.

Sorry no 3d support.
once the drm:r600_ring_test error is encountered GPU acceleration is disabled.
It may have something to do with lack of cache coherency on the 460ex.
Only the top Linux DRM guys could look in to this properly but they really don't have the time.
Generally only if some problem due to new code turns up will it be looked at , once we bring the issue to their attention.
Both the powerpc and DRM guys have been supportive in these new issues.
