I can confirm the big on my powerbook 12 1.5 ghz, nvida 5200 Go running ubuntu edgy updated as of today. I am pretty sure the problem is caused by the usage of open firmware (ofonly) framebuffer instead of rivafb framebuffer. My yaboot.conf appends the option video=rivafb to the kernel, but rivafb is compiled as an external module in the default kernel: ~# modprobe -l |grep rivafb /lib/modules/2.6.17-10-powerpc/kernel/drivers/video/riva/rivafb.ko So I think this module must be put into the initrd so it can be loaded upon booting or otherwise rivafb must be compiled statically into the kernel.
