@SailorMH
Please test them with your CF cards.

@Allan (Ace)
Please test them with your two installed graphics cards and with your Logitech wireless USB mouse. Can you switch with CTRL-ALT-F1 (F2, F3, F4 etc) to another terminal after booting with the xorg.conf?

@Mechanic
Please test them with your JMB363 card.

@Darren
Could you please submit your new pcmcia patch to the kernel developers?

Thanks,
Christian

Hi All,

I successfully tested the RC1 of kernel 5.3 with openSUSE Tumbleweed 20190722 PPC64 today.

Screenshot of openSUSE Tumbleweed 20190722 PPC64 with the RC1 of kernel 5.3, with Mesa 19.1.2, with TVtime connected to an analog television PCI card (WinTV Express BT878A), and with Mac OS X 10.5 PowerPC in a virtual QEMU/KVM-PR machine:

PLEASE test the RC1 and the alphas of kernel 5.3.

Thanks,
Christian

Hi Christian
Apologies as I haven't had much time of late but finally got round to some testing of RC1.

RC1 Boots to Radeon SI card but will not run LightDM. I can however get to terminals using the F keys. I haven't tried using the xorg.conf as yet will do this weekend. Logitech mouse works fine.

RC1-vgaard Boots to Firepro and LightDM as normal, Logitech mouse works fine.

RC1-ll Boots to Firepro and LightDM, Logitech mouse works fine.

I appreciate all the hard work you put in for us all.

Regards
