[Mactel-linux-users] status of iMac 11,3 (27" - mid 2010)

[mike d. <fl...@po...>]

Hey there,

In spite of some browsing, I haven't been able to find any information
regarding the use of GNU/Linux (be it Debian or Ubuntu) on the high-end
iMac models which last came out (iMac 11,3; 27"; mid 2010; with either
HD 5670 or HD 5750 for graphics).

I'm considering getting the iMac 11,3 with an i5 or i7 processor (I
don't care much about the graphics chip, provided it works with open
source drivers and provides accelerated 2D graphics - 3D not being
important for me right now).

I'd be glad to read stories, be they successful or not, and/or be
pointed towards documentation I may have missed. A thread [1] on
ubuntuforums describes a persistent "black screen" issue on the iMac
11,1 model. However, there's no mention of the 11,3 model, which ships
with different graphics as stated above.

Thanks a lot in advance for your input!
