Re: Powermac g5 strange colors with gui

Thanks, I have installed the kernel as suggested above, and when I run uname -a it returns that the kernel is running, but the graphical errors persist. Do I need to do something more? I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to graphics, so I may have just gotten it wrong. Thanks for the help Aidan

Re: Powermac g5 strange colors with gui

I have an AGP g5. The kernel that you have listed is the one that I am using. It also appears that something is wrong with the windfarm driver, because after about five minutes the fans are blowing at top speed. I've attatched the two logs as text files. dmesgOut.txt is the output of dmesg and

Re: Powermac g5 strange colors with gui

Hi Aidan, I have had a look at the logs you provided. The kernels i have provided are specifically configured for the last Powermac G5's (11.2). Regarding the fans, note the following line in your dmesg log: [0.00] WARNING ! Your machine is PMU-based but your kernel [0.00]
