After further testing I reinstalled the following version that worked
successfully :
<table border=1>

<tr><td>kernel</td><td>2.6.26-2-powerpc64</td></tr>
<tr><td>xserver-xorg</td><td>1:7.3+18</td></tr>

<tr><th colspan=2>Ubuntu 8.04.1</th></tr>
<tr><td>kernel</td><td>2.6.24-19 and 2.6.24-24</td></tr>
<tr><td>xserver-xorg</td><td>1:7.3+10ubuntu10</td></tr>
<tr><td>xserver-xorg-video-nv</td><td>1:2.1.8-1ubuntu1</td></tr>
</table>
Note : I installed Ubuntu 8.04.1 front the PPC desktop live CD and
everything worked out of the box.
In fact, the bug reported started to appear when I upgraded my
installation to 8.10 (and was still here on 9.04).
(I'll update the bug report...).
** Description changed:
Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-nv
- I had a fully functional Ubuntu 8.10 installation on my PowerMac G5 4x2,5 GHz
with a Nvidia Quadro FX 4500 (driver nv).
- I upgraded to the 9.04 version with the update manager. When the computer
rebooted after the upgrade, I ended with Xorg in bulletproof mode (cf. the
Xorg.0.nv-driver.log). The Xorg log showed an error message about "No valid
MMIO address in PCI config space" and screen not found (same DVI monitor than
in 8.10).

I tried the nouveau driver in case of luck, but unfortunately I had another
error.
I made a final try by using the alternate 9.04 cd to format an re-
install in case of an error whole upgrading. But the error stays.
I have tried to hardcode the driver and force to ignore the EDID but the
error stay the same : Bulletproof mode with funky colors hardly
readable. I used the option login in console mode and try to fix the
conf. I am now posting this bug from the command line (lynx is the best
friend of unlucky admins ^.^).
After trying to find on the ubuntuforums.org and by googling without
success, I now to fill-in a bug.
