As far as I know, the problem with eMacs with a Radeon 9200 is the migration to KMS video drivers.
Years ago I tried to install Debian on it and discovered that any version after "Wheezy" has video problems (the so called "Black Screen of Death) [1]. I read a report of someone using a UMS version of the drivers from ubuntu [2] but never tried this solution. I wonder: 1. Would it be possible to have UMS drivers compatible with modern kernels? 2. If answer to "1" is true, would it be possible to make a debian package for it? If someone thinks that it could be possible to find a solution, I could be available for testing purposes, since I still own an old eMac G4.
