I solved this last night on the iMac I describe above with an 8.10 Intrepid Ibex Alternate PPC install CD. It seems that the idea of using the nv_drv.so from Feisty will not work with Intrepid due to a version mismatch. I am not at that computer, so I am doing this off of memory: # switch to root sudo su - # update apt apt-get update # get the source apt-get source xserver-xorg-video-nv # get the denpencies needed to build the source apt-get build-dep xserver-xorg-video-nv # undo the commit detailed here http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-nv/commit/?id=ec78618d685759a39d386e9929661037b167fe68 # I came to this conclusion based on https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14659#c2 & https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4686#c13 cd xserver-xorg-video-nv*/ sed -i '/pNv->Architecture == NV_ARCH_30/,+1d' src/nv_dac.c # build the driver ./configure && make # backup the existing driver cp /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/nv_drv.so /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/nv_drv.so.original # copy the new driver over top of the old (don't know if I needed the .la and .lai, but I copied them) cp -f src/.lib/nv_drv.* /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/ # restart xorg /etc/init.d/gdm restart
like I said, that is all from memory, so let me know if something doesn't work for you.
