Hi, I tried booting from today's edgy live cd (daily build 13-Oct 06) on
my 20 iMac G5 RevC and I still have the original problems, i.e. black
screen and ventilator starting after about 1 minute. Can anyone confirm
this? Has there been any progress on fixing the issue? What can I do to
help?
Hi,
I confirm this. The xorg.conf use wrong freq. I provided a working
xorg.conf at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/iMacG5RevC . About the fan, Benjamin

Don't confuse iMac G5 rev {A,B} and rev C. They have a lot of
difference.
The priors have Powermac 9,1, the third has Powermac12,1. Currently, rev
C has no windfarm modules for their chipset, and radeonfb crashes at

These problems are very specific to ubuntu, as a similar setup (linux kernel,

Oops, that should have read 2.6.18-rc5 kernel - only this kernel has

kernels, as has been done in the 2.6.17 Edgy kernel.

Yes, I got the sound working too. I have a fully functioning Dapper -
sound and fans controlled (except for video that is a bit jerky) -
simply by compiling the 2.6.16-rc5 kernel with the g5_defconfig
configuration.
I've posted instructions about how to get a working Dapper here:
Let us know if you get the sound working in Dapper. While I will
definitely continue to contribute as much as I can to Edgy, I would much
rather be running a quick, stable OS (with sound).
