Re: old G5 iMac with NVIDIA card
I have a ATI Radeon 9600 and it has problems. Debian disappointedly booted to a command prompt after installing it. Startx also failed to load the GUI. This news about making a kernel that supports 4k pages might be a solution. I don't have Debian anymore so I can't try it.
