The last package I had installed was, IINM,
xserver-xorg-video-ati_6.7.196-1, and I didn't have problems with it,
other than those already described on debian-powerpc at lists.debian.org.
It worked fine for cloning the alubook screen to a VGA - I just
thought maybe this black-and-white-only-on-my-TV issue got fixed .. :)
...
And yes, I often eat my favorite software as fresh as possible ... :)
And if we're already at it:
Thanks to the developers of this software.
I clone an alubook screen to a VGA on a nearly daily basis: I just
added a few commands to the KDE menu, to switch the LCD/VGA screens
on/off: seems to work like a charm ...
Thanks a lot
Best Regards
Wolfgang
