Ok I have made some headway. Thanks to  friend and the Ubuntu PowerPC wiki
I have been able to get Xvid working. Here is what I had to do. At yaboot:
Linux "video=radeonfb:off radeon.agpmode=-1 radeon.modeset=1 radeon.dpm=1
video=offb:off"

With that I can login and view videos with Xvid instead of x11. However I
am seeing this and was wondering if it normal?
