Have you checked in on the nouveau mailing list or IRC channel? I have ATI
chipsets in most all of my legacy Mac hardware so I haven't had any need for
Nvidia drivers. I had the same question about Ubuntu for PPC but there may be a
better place to ask. Do they have their own list or msg boards?
I tried booting the same disc on a PowerMac G4 (mirrored door) and got a white

Folks are in the process of fixing that. In the mean time, the best way to
