I wouldn't have thought they made AGP cards of anything that new. I also don't see how a powermac would have a working startup screen and boot loader and such if it didn't know how to initialize the video card, hence the likely need for a mac specific version of the card. Sure you might be able to get X running once booted, but its easier to work on a system with working graphics during the entire boot (yes I know you can probably use a serial console on a lot of the powermacs if you had to). -- Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-powerpc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
