Hello! Apparently the nouveau driver does not work on my Power Mac G5. It is a PowerMac11,2 "Late 2005" model, nvidia GeForce 6600LE (128MB VRAM).
PowerPC-based Macs with nvidia cards: http://mac.linux.be/content/nouveau-and-powerpc-apple-machines I found this article: http://powerpcliberation.blogspot.co.at/2015/07/g5-nouveau-2d-acceleration.html "getconf PAGESIZE" shows: # 65536 "cat /proc/interrupts" shows: # CPU0 CPU1 # 25: 0 1 MPIC-U3MSI 8 Edge nouveau How do you get nouveau working? Do you really use a 4k pagesize custom kernel? And do you disable MSI for the nouveau driver? To disable MSI for nouveau, the following kernel parameter has to be used: nouveau.config=NvMSI=0 (Found here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCKnownIssues) I will now continue to install some other stuff on this HDD and then try it on my other Power Mac G5, a PowerMac7,2 with an ATI Radeon 9600 graphics card. Let's see if this works better. Cheers, Andreas aka Linux User #330250
