    Hi All!

    if you can read it.. it means that my iBook is rocking. X11 and WiFi
    (Airport) included.
    For weeks X11 and ATI drivers were broken beyond usage. I performed a
    full system upgrade.

    6.1.0-7-powerpc #1 Debian 6.1.20-1 (2023-03-19) ppc GNU/Linux

    0000:00:10.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.
    [AMD/ATI] Rage Mobility L AGP 2x (rev 64)


    running on my iBook G3. X11 works. It has some serious refresh
    glitches, but they go away, all artefacts are gone. So I can send this
    message natively with GNUMail running on GNUstep on latest Debian/ppc

    Hi Riccardo,

    I'd like to restart my Pismo (got an SSD in 2014 when you could still
    find them with PATA interface). Could you please append (or attach) here
    a copy of your apt/sources.list to help people wanting to restart this
    kind of machine.

    TIA,
    Gabriel

    Here are mine, very simple:

    # binary

    deb http://ftp.ports.debian.org/debian-ports/ unstable main
    deb http://ftp.ports.debian.org/debian-ports/ unreleased main
