Thx for the feedback Lars, I think we can call it on the bug Walter, so far nobody else has come forward with anything that suggests otherwise. Where would we propose to implement those params to be set as default for the specific systems in future builds/ releases, would a post to the ppc list

I believe this is due to incomplete or not at all set up Xorg conf which for some reason is not done for a long time on certain Radeon systems, so those are without DRI and all the bells and whistles. Did you try what I mentioned above? sudo service lightdm stop sudo Xorg -configure sudo mv

Thanks Lars, still learning the ropes with this, from Walters response I gathered we could call it, but I'm glad we can work the installer defaults in, makes more sense that way and I expressed as much on the bug, was just not sure if this should be left open all the way. Am 11.11.2014 05:45

Hi Walter, yep not default for every kind of ppc system, only for those specific G4 ibook's with the radeon 9200 variant, tho eMacs with those would also seems like a save bet-!? Sry I haven't yet gotten around to the FAQ/ Known Issues addition but I plan on spending some time on it tomorrow :)

Hello all, @Walter I did encounter this in 14.04.1 as well it works if I force PCI mode via yaboot radeon.agpmode=-1 (which I thought was the expected workaround for an unknown issue with AGP and the user would be expected to use it) While on my system with a 9200 based chip under OSX it's
