Hi there,

Here is the version of that package available for Debian 4.0 on powerpc:

Right now this iBook is running Debian GNU/Linux 4.0, so it's version 1:
6.6.3-2 of
xserver-xorg-video-ati.

Well, the problem is that I don't wanna run sid on that iBook. I need it on
a daily basis. Maybe is there a backport to etch of a newer version of
xserver-xorg-video-ati. I could use ?

Thank you,
