Thank you for your pointings!
I read the following threads, and it seems that we have two solutions > I would install MintPPC 11 (based on Debian Wheezy) and read my thread how to > get X working on the iMac G5: > http://www.mintppc.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=618 1) use nv, instead of nouveau. I might need to use a patched nv version. 2) disable acceleration of nouveau, by a kernel parameter. Is this a correct reading? Just one more thing -- are they already patched into MintPPC (the patched nv package)?

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?
