Spectre660's Linux downloads for the Sam440/460

Lubuntu 13.10 for the Sam440ep(-flex) by Spectre660: Lubuntu_13.10_Sam440ep_Netinstall.iso

 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?

Note: The Radeon Dynamic Power Management doesn't work. You have to add the argument and the value "radeon.dpm=0" to the bootargs.

TLP works on PPC Linux, it really brings down power consumption a lot so all is not lost.

Ubuntu:

Code: [Select]

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:linrunner/tlp
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install tlp tlp-rdw
sudo service tlp start

Hi All,

I have some bad news for you.

Spectre660 has ended his support for the Sams.

Quote Spectre660:

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.

Fools.

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.

I have read the whole thread, I also read this:

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.
