Re: [RFC] Remove AGP support from Radeon/Nouveau/TTM

Mine is not so old : debian jessie, with kms  and agp mode enabled. 3D works reliably and is very stable on this powerbook G4 1,67 and radeon 9700. It's not bug free, mostly endianess problems with colors. Not all programm using 3D work,  but  kodi does very well.
Overall, the whole interface (mate) is much more fluid than without 3D acceleration. Without it i slow.

I didn't install latest unstable yet because this system is very stable and enjoyable.  I did it on a powermac G5 and could'nt enable agp mode because of a bug in the driver (already reported here). Without AGP mode, mate is painfully slow.

Those are *extremely old* (and I mean over ten years old) kernels and
userspaces. Of course old UMS distros will work fine. Try installing
the current Debian powerpc (on the G4) and ppc64 (on the G5) ports and
force-enable AGP on the Radeon kernel driver (radeon.agpmode=0),
you'll understand what we mean by "unstable". ;)
