Recently posted in our community, someone installed Adélie Linux on their Quad G5 – now to be featured as a part of the “Low End Mac Mailbag“. As a part of the Low End Mac mailbag, we aim to:

• Greatly increase daily article output
• Save the knowledge shared by others
• Have our community be more “out there”, etching their name on the website.
• Answer commonly asked questions, helping you problem-solve your Mac.
• Showcase projects done by others to encourage people to fix their devices.

“After a bit of futzing, I was able to get Adelie behaving properly on the Quad again… Including with a Radeon HD 2600. I wonder if a 2GB AMD R7 display adapter will work. Hmmm….”

Someone responded: “i have a hd 6970 in my quad with stock card / linux worked well most the time but in many browsers i could not get hardware acceleration”

Why 2 video cards? “I need the stock on to be able to access Open Firmware.”
