Hi all,
I've installed Ubuntu 12.04 on an old PPC and is running but things are not good yet.
Basically the graphical resolution is under par and specially the icons, on the left bar, are a white box. This seems to be an issue with the graphics card and there are several workarounds out there. Unfortunately I seem to so far have tried the wrong ones since none as worked. So these are the specification of the computer:
Does anyone have a good solution to sort out the graphics card problem for this model?
A bonus point for a good driver to speed up the internet connection using a ASUS USB-N13 adaptor.
