 Can you make a formal bug report against kernel-source-2.6.8 for this
 problem ?

Sure.

  But at the moment 2.6.10-3 is in testing/sarge. Do you want to downgrade?
 
 Nope, 2.6.8-11 is in sarge, and 2.6.10-3 stays in sid, and 2.6.8-11 is
 still
 our release candidate.

I'm quite sure that Synaptic said on Friday that 2.6.10-3 was in testing. 
Either it actually was, or it was a bug in Synaptic or a bug in my head. ;-) 
Today it's in unstable. But it's 2.6.8-9 which is in testing and 2.6.8-11 is in 
unstable. I have 2.6.8-11 installed as one option for booting. This version is 
flickering (probably also versions before, because in Novemer I installed 
sarge).

Bug#286758: kernel-image-2.6.9-powerpc: Same openpic hang on PowerBook

[spam-me]

Hi Martin,

kernel-image-2.6.10-powerpc (2.6.10-3) is working without this issue on my 
Powerbook G4 1.5 GHz, ATI Mobility Radeon 128 MB.

On 2.6.8 I haven't seen this bug, but another one: It seems to be impossible to 
configure X so that it isn't flickering at all. Either you use 
'append=video=ofonly' in /etc/yaboot.conf  in order to avoid a slight 
horizontal flickering already visible in text mode, then there's only a wild 
flickering when you start X. Or you use 'append=video=radeonfb' in order to 
make X usable, but then this slight horizontal fllickering remains also in the 
graphical mode. See also 
http://debianhelp.org/modules.php?op=modloadname=phpBB_14file=indexaction=viewtopictopic=726730654

So if you are going to release sarge with 2.6.8, then there will be computers 
that won't work with Debian stable for probably another 3 or 4 years, regarding 
the release cycles of Debian. So Sarge will be out of date when released. The 
only possibility would be to use testing or unstable, which sometimes is what 
the name says, or another distribution or Mac OS X (which is what I'm doing 
most of the time anyway).

But at the moment 2.6.10-3 is in testing/sarge. Do you want to downgrade?

Jens
