@john This problem was meanwhile worked around by setting radeon.agp.mode=-1 as default in recent kernels (=> 5.0 ?). So you don't need to fiddle around with your settings here. Unfortunately Ubuntu ppc support is dead, only ppc64le option is maintained. But there are other distros (Void,

I put quotes around both, that must be what broke it. Then I tried to fix it using live CD to re-edit but I couldn't make it stick as the live CD couldn't update the bin. Mint always warns me of syntax errors so if this did as well I missed it. I'll try it again. I might just switch back to Tiger
