Re: [Mactel-linux-devel] support of the new iMac?

[Ludovic R. <lud...@gm...>]

Hello,

Since my request I made some progress.
I am using the default Debian kernel 2.6.22-2-amd64.

The radeonhd free software driver does not yet support this card.
But the card is supported by the proprietary AMD driver version 8.42.3.

Not supported AFAICT

Not needed.

The sound card is a
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio
Controller (rev 03)

But I only get sound in my  headphone and the level is very low. And
no sound at all from the speakers.

Works out of the box:
- Bluetooth
- Ethernet

Anybody is working on the support of this machine?

Bye
