Screenshot of openSUSE Tumbleweed PPC64 with Arctic Fox 27.9.17 and with the kernel 5.2-alpha5:
BTW, I created a new PowerPC cross compiling environment on ubuntu MATE 18.04.2 LTS x86_64 (GCC 7.4.0) three days ago. This kernel has been compiled with this new cross compiling environment.
@SailorMH
Please test it with your CF cards.
@Ace
Please test the default kernel (uImage-5.2) with your two installed graphics cards and the additional test kernel (uImage-hid4) with your Logitech wireless USB mouse.
Thanks,
Christian
