The priors have Powermac 9,1, the third has Powermac12,1. Currently, rev

No it does not and no we cannot. Bluetooth-only input was a stock

Yes, I got the sound working too. I have a fully functioning Dapper -
sound and fans controlled (except for video that is a bit jerky) -
simply by compiling the 2.6.16-rc5 kernel with the g5_defconfig

Oops, that should have read 2.6.18-rc5 kernel - only this kernel has

this hardware. This is the kind of place where Ubuntu could really,
