Hi Aidan,
Please use this 3.18.16 kernel. Link below:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B8pqd5Ots1vffmY5ZnpGUDg4UGNnVFk2M05tQUtEUUkwUmhmQWdLMWpfZGVraDIxSFltb1k
Please post a complete dmesg log. (Please dont grep anything, i mean a
complete dmesg log).
Also please post the output of "cat /proc/interrupts".
I think a step has been missed where the msi interrupts are required to
be disabled. this is required for PMAC's with PCIe (PMAC 11.2).
Perhaps MSI interrupts may or may not be required for AGP based GPU's.
I take it your machine is an AGP + PCIx Powermac G5?
Hopefully the two logs mentioned may shed some light on the issue and
hopefully help sort out your problem.
I assume you already have a kernel running with a 4k pagesize?
Regards,
Peter

The card and monitor both worked fine under mac os x, and the color is
fine in the terminal. I'm not sure what would indicate a gpu or
monitor error, but they a were both working fine under os x.
Thanks for the suggestion though, I'll try a different cable.

Have you ruled out the possibility of a hardware issue either with
your monitor, video card port(s), and video cable itself?
Sometimes bent or missing pins on the video cables or loose
connections can cause such problems. Just wanted to throw that
out there.

Thanks,
I have installed the kernel as suggested above, and when I
run uname -a it returns that the kernel is running, but the
graphical errors persist. Do I need to do something more? I'm
a bit of a noob when it comes to graphics, so I may have just
gotten it wrong.
Thanks for the help

Hi Aidan,
Welcome to the Debian-on-G5-Macs club!
Peter Saisanas has a patched kernel that fixes this problem.
Check out this discussion in the mail archives:
https://lists.debian.org/debian-powerpc/2015/11/msg00006.html
To cut to the chase,
1) download the two ".deb" files at this URL:
https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B8pqd5Ots1vfaDdaOGJndzU2SlE&usp=sharing&tid=0B8pqd5Ots1vfT2puX09CYjEwcFk
do the following steps as root
2) do a "dpkg -i" on each of these ".deb" files.
3) do "update-initramfs -u"
4) Modify your "/etc/yaboot.conf" file to add a stanza
pointing to the
new kernel and initrd files in /boot
5) run "ybin"
6) reboot and select the new yaboot option you created in
step 4
You should be good to go
I've CC-ed Peter in case he sees anything I've missed here...
