I am playing with Debian 8 + LXDE, all works fine with HD6870. Thanks all for help.
I tried to upgrade Debian to newer version according the smarkusg's
advice:Quote:
You need to aim for the day after the release of Buster where the stable packages land into the development version. Buster was released on 6 July 2019 so the date 7 July 2019 would be correct.
Add to /etc/apt/sources.list

With no success:
upgrade to Debian 10 Buster: last Spectre660's kernel is 4.9.38 and Debian 10 Buster needs 4.19.
upgrade to Debian 9 Stretch: need kernel 4.9 ( so Spectre660's kernel is probably modern enough ), but
powerpc repository missing both in
snapshot.debian.org and
archive.debian.org.
In
this post smarkusg used kernel 5.10, which is modern enough to upgrade to
Debian 11 Bullseye.
Please, do anybody have this kernel 5.10 for Sam460? Or, do you know where I can contact smarkusg?
Or, like the last resort, please, does anyone have a tutorial on how to compile a kernel, more for blondes than in the
advice: from smarkusg?
