I dualboot Lubuntu 13.10 and MorphOS 3.3 on my 1.67GHz PowerBook G4 and it's nice and responsive, I haven't managed to get hardware accelerated 3D working with the radeon xorg driver for the 9700M though. Do you happen to have a working xorg.conf with functioning 3D for video cards that use the radeon driver?

Could you ask your question in the Apple Users area of the Ubuntu forums: http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=328 ?
There are a lot of users with Lubuntu on PowerBook G4.

Hi All,
I have some bad news for you.
Spectre660 has ended his support for the Sams.
Quote Spectre660:
@Xeno74 Thank you for your support but it is time for me to move on. The thread on Amigans.net (http://www.amigans.net/modules/xforum/viewtopic.php?topic_id=6332&forum=10) showed me the light.
He has deleted all Linux downloads, posts, and screenshots in the Hyperion forum.
@Spectre660: You have done a lot of very good work for us. Sorry about this. I'm so sorry.

Yet again the true believers of the Church of Latter Day Icon Twiddlers have chased off more development talent from the community.
Those idiots really would cut off their nose to spite their face.

You need to read the whole thread really.
In fact all the poster did was ask why there was so much Linux discussion on Hyperion's forums, and ask if there was a way that the AmigaOS talk on the AmigaOS forum could be given precedence over the Linux talk so he didn't have to wade through Linux announcements to get to the AmigaOS ones. The bigger reason for Spectre660's quitting was more because his Sam460ex died on him.

He feels like he has been stabbed in the back by two faced hypocrites and I don't blame him. I'd feel the same.

What about some easier dual boot AOS*Linux on SAM460? How to achieve multiple OS boot menu as Acube displays on shows

That is really nice, my compliments to Acube. Some days I wonder would AEON, Hyperion and some other players do the same for people that do deserve it? Sometimes is other way around, Trevor wanted to donate Nemo to MOS team, but would not fund the port. :whack:

No, it only works on Sam440ep (Flex).

OK thanks. Since support forum seems not to be forum where I can ask (Hans and co dont approve my messages at all, for months) can I encourage to post SAM460ex news and that can I ask questions here?
At this moment I am setting DJ Nicks x1000 from scratch. There is a dummy problem - when DVD changed, atapi device has gone from 0.0 to 0.1 or so, and no menu option works.
How to easily edit it?

Sorry I will not post to censored forum, even I am registered AmigaOS 4 user, very sad moderation (they put you in approval mode, and NEVER or in months approve your messages, when it looses meaning). That is what you get when you put aggressive team leader in charge of no-support.
