Hello, 

I am a recent "converter" who dropped OSX 10.5 on my iMac G5 (rev.a with 
GeForce4 mx graphic), and moved into Debian 6.
Well, I am very happy about the decision, and Squeeze works greatly for me -- 
except only a few lack of features HTML5 supporting browser. 


So after a month of usage, I've tried installing (and upgrading from Squeeze) 
Wheezy. Well, It seems that new nouveau driver included in Wheezy Xorg server 
seems to have some problems. Screen goes out, with yellow lines and broken 
color mashes, etc. Thus, can't really do something after the log-on. 

When installing the nouveau driver package, it gives out a warning; something 
about kernel version that it needs. 
It says that the package (and related kernel module) will need a kernel version 
later than 2.6.34RC ... But the kernel version available in the Wheezy seems to 
be 2.6.32, and using other driver is no option, since Wheezy no longer has the 
old nv driver. 

Can anyone help me understanding the situation? Simply speaking, iMacG5 (Rev. 
A) cannot use X windows in Wheezy. 
I would be very grateful if anyone can give me any pointer :-) Thanks! 

Gil
