Package: plymouth Severity: normal There is a lot of powerpc hardware available right now, much of it with decent ATI and NVIDIA graphics cards. at a minimum, the machines tend to have decent framebuffers from openfirmware.
It would be nice to have plymouth available on this architecture for "pretty" startup screens, especially since people with this hardware are probably used to seeing pretty startups from that other OS. it appears that this isn't doable at the moment because libdrm-intel is not being built on powerpc, since there are no supported intel GPUs on powerpc machines on the market. Maybe this could be worked around by avoiding linking to libdrm-intel on powerpc for plymouth? --dkg -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: powerpc (ppc64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.37-trunk-powerpc64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
