The FPS are limited to the displays vertical refresh rate (i.e. 60 fps). Please turn off the vblank_mode.

vblank_mode=0 glxgears

Could you upload a screenshot of ubuntu MATE 15.10 PowerPC with the following commands, please?

Quote:

glxinfo | grep -i opengl

vblank_mode=0 glxgears

You could upload your screenshot to http://postimage.org if you like.

Thanks in advance.

Network issues in 15.10 beta 1 PPC Edition happened to be an issue with my dhcp server on pfsense. Glad to report that the 1999 PowerMac G4 450MHz has drivers for every in box hardware and works flawlessly. However the monitors setting does not open.

PLEASE test ubuntu MATE 15.10 PowerPC.

Seems like "I want a fast and light weight browser I can use remotely" is the starting condition for ANY and ALL browser implementations.

Then at some point ALL of those points are replaced with *zombie voice* feeeeeaaaatuuuurreeees. Iiii neeeeeed feeeeeaaaatuuuureeeees" */zombie voice*

This weeks pet peeve:
Using "voltage" instead of "potential", which leads to inventing new words like "amperage" instead of "current" (I, measured in A) or possible "charge" (amperehours, Ah or Coulomb, C). Sometimes I don't even know what people mean.

@olegil

Actually Odyssey is quite good.
However Midori is faster at javascript .

PLEASE test it.

If you find any mistakes in the manual, please let me know.

When (if ever) can we expect X5000 builds?

Patches for the Cyrus board were already posted by Andy Fleming on the linuxppc-dev mailing list and thus official support will likely show up with v4.4 of the Linux kernel. So everything seems to be there to build a kernel on your own.
Then somebody just has to replace the X1000 kernel with the Cyrus kernel on the X1000 Ubuntu install CD and it should work.

Xeno74 doesn't have any Cyrus hardware, so his ability to answer that question is limited. I am the individual responsible for getting mainline support for Cyrus into 4.x (I hired him), and I have builds of 4.2 and 4.3 that work fine (though the on-board Ethernet support doesn't, as that driver hasn't been passed into mainline, yet).

If you let me know which Radeon graphics card you have in your machine, depending on the card, I can provide you with a build.

Hi All,

Today I successfully updated ubuntu MATE 15.10 PowerPC on my X1000. There were a lot of updates. For example the new Firefox 40.0.3.



Srtest has also successfully updated Lubuntu 15.10 PowerPC on his X1000 today. There were also a lot of updates. For example the new Firefox 40.0.3 too.
He tested successfully the new Mesa 11 with the patched r600.so from the unofficial Mesa package today.

Quote Srtest:

Quote:

*** UPDATE: FIREFOX 40.0.3 out for Lubuntu on power platforms! according to the hype it supposed to have special Linux features about multi-threading browsing. Check out the GLXgears results they are pretty good. Everything works if you replace just the "r600.so".

Note: Firefox 40.0.3 is only available for all Ubuntu 15.10 flavors currently.

It isn't available yet for:

A-EON Live Remix distribution
All Ubuntu 12.04.5 flavors
All Ubuntu 15.04 flavors
All Ubuntu 14.04 flavors

Cheers,

Christian

Hi All,

I have very exciting news!!!!!! I could install ubuntu MATE 15.10 PowerPC in a chroot on Lubuntu 12.04.5 PowerPC. I can use the ubuntu MATE 15.10 desktop in fullscreen or I can use the new programs from ubuntu MATE 15.10 on the Lubuntu 12.04.5 desktop. Sound and 3D acceleration works very well in the chroot. This is really fantastic.

If you want to test ubuntu MATE 15.10 with a lot of new programs such as Firefox 41 or LibreOffice 5 and you don't have a free partition or you couldn't install it on your PowerPC computer, then you can install it in a chroot on your existing 12.04 system.
