@repairedCheese crashing with firefox 72.x/73.x got fixed upstream (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1616030), I can finally drop my workaround patch (which I added for the 73 update; it fixes the crashes but not correctly) and upload new packages later (I won't be bumping version number, if you want it, force-reinstall it). That said, some gfx::2d refactoring also broke colors in various places, so it's better to stay at ESR for now, which has more or less correct rendering.

@z970mp yes, libreoffice is functional and at latest version
 
Hallo again, seccond time i installed void on a g5 quad.
Hardware: bluetooth, wifi, audio (firewire digi002) works. A hd5700 graphiccard is working, but i think no acceleration. Is it possible? How to do that?
Software: Ffox 73.0 (colorprobs), LibOff6.4, Thunderbird, Gimp are working. Ardour is installed, but doesn't work. Maybe someone can help?
I also tested a hd6970 graphiccard. The g5 booted, at the beginning i saw text, but the loginmanager was spoilt( s. pic.). Maybe someone know to solve this?

For acceleration you will need to install the appropriate mesa bits. As for firefox, use firefox-esr for now, which doesn't have the color issues. Ardour not working is probably a general big endian issue, same with the HD6970 (likely too new... or could be a power management issue, the card is pretty hungry, and the PCIe slot might not be able to give out enough juice for graphical output to work correctly), somebody would need to patch the code.

Hi. I have a similar setup. Did you manage to run the installer from the Radeon 5770 or from the original open firmware GPU?

Thanks!

Hallo, thanks for answering.
For acceleration, how could i find the "appropriate mesa bits"? Mesa already installed.
Firefox-esr is better.
For Ardour, i got a (glib2.0-) error message (s. pic).
For the hd6970: i have 6-pin and the 8-pin connected to the power supply. In the Amiga-Fienix-Linux forums, i read, that suchlike cards could be possible with a powerpc....?

The X1900 GT in my DC G5 requires a 6-pin power cable, small end attached to the logic board, behind the plastic PCIe guiderails, big end attached to the GPU. It uses the same power cable as at least the '06, '07 and '08 Mac Pros.

If power management works fine like that, it should work fine via the same method with newer, hungrier cards.
 
@dreadone how do you check that the acceleration doesn't work? Also, are you on glibc or on musl?

@z970mp i mean the power supplied by the PCIe slot itself, only x16 is required to be able to provide full 75W, and the one x16 needs to have the original GPU in it.
 
@q66_ Why does the original GPU need to be in x16? I've run a 6600 in x8 with the X1900 GT in x16 with zero problems.

Bandwidth availability is the only difference, to my knowledge.
 
@dreadone I fixed the ardour problem; the package was using bundled libraries and those were somehow miscompiled. I switched it to use external libraries and it works fine:

The issue was also affecting little endian. Either way it should work once the next batch gets uploaded.

(the glib related message is a red herring and completely unrelated btw)

[automerge]1583771636[/automerge]
@z970mp bandwidth availability is not the only difference btw, the PCIe specification requires x16 slots to supply 75W, while x8 and lower slots only need to be able to supply 25W. In practice it varies, but that's what the specification says :p

@q66_ Right, I did suspect that wasn't in fact the only difference, but I couldn't confirm anything else off the top of my head...

Because at the beginning of the boot process it shows: disable gpu acceleration.
Second question....i dont know.

I installed void with 5770 in pcie x16 slot and the nvidia6600 in slot 2.
After the installation i took the 6600 out of the g5.
What do you mean with: "must have use the x16 slot " for the original 6600? You don't need it, i think.
 
at least mine wouldn't even get to bootloader if I moved the 6600 to another slot. Not sure about the boot message, maybe send a picture and/or the output of dmesg. Chances are the acceleration works anyway.

Btw, to block the nvidia driver from being loaded, you might want to add modprobe.blacklist=nouveau to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT and run update-grub. While at it, remove the slub_debug and page_poison arguments from there, they have a noticeable performance impact on old hardware like G5.

All mentioned in https://docs.voidlinux-ppc.org/post-installation/index.html

After i hear the mac start sound, i have to wait a little bit...but the screen starts.

Ok, i will do it tomorrow.
I'm on the way home.
 
I don't see anything :p

Also, ardour is fixed in repos now, btw.
Thx for Ardour. Will try it later.
But i can't upload a .txt file?

Has anyone managed to get non-mac Nvidia cards working on a G5 Quad? I've been trying a few here, GTS 250, GT 640, and GT 625. They all show up, but I can't seem to get into X on them. Xorg spams a bunch of fifo stuff, and there's a log in dmesg regarding "switching to software fbcon".

I've tried a few things; kernel params for NvMSI, nomodeset, video=offb: off, etc. But nothing makes much of a difference. The only thing they do is keep the machine from lagging due to log spam.

I should mention I'm using the ppc64 musl version - I was half wondering if using a non-musl one would be better?

Otherwise ... maybe there's something I'm missing. Sorry, I realize this is vague; I can post any additional info as needed.

Thanks in advance for any direction/assistance.
 
Just for kicks, I tried out the MATE ppc64 live disk, and it was a lot more responsive than LXDE on ppc64 ever was. I'm starting to wonder if some of my problems were related to the desktop environment I was using. Even trying to put my password in using LXDE was extremely laggy.
