This updates the g5 defconfig to include nouveau instead of nvidiafb

Does it? Nvidiafb is super stable here, whereas nouveau has a lot of
problems.
nvidiafb crashes solid here when X gets involved.
What do you mean by "lots of problems" ? I've been using nouveau for a
long time now on my two quad g5's including 3D, gnome-shell etc...
without anything more than a glitch or two on the edge of windows...
Also can you remind me what machine model and what video card variant ?
Cheers,
Ben.

nouveau doesn't work on my machine. There is a bug in Xorg project
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=21273 It need to make
a workaround for correct initialization of video card. Unfortunately,
I am not skilled enough for it.
Nvidiafb worked fine for me, but I am not using it.
