Fwd: Success: PPC 14.04 with the desktop freeze/radeon driver

[Fritz Hudnut]

Forwarding this: top posted comment: Boris R. has been giving me some
pointers towards getting 14.04 PPC into more use-able state on my G4 iBook
. . . seems to have made a difference using "Linux video=ofonly
radeon.agpmode=-1"  at the second Yaboot window . . . now I would wonder
how to make that param semi-permanent . . . .  Even seems to have brought
"suspend" somewhat back . . . this morning did not "revive" . . . but
posibly due to battery old age.


"- don't! My understanding was using "radeonfb" conflicts with KMS which we
want to use nowadays, so try to leave it out and instead use only
"video=ofonly radeon.agpmode=-1""

Boris:

Good news!!!

Alrighty, since I didn't combine those two items before I did it, and right
away the fan started blowing . . . and I have a number of windows open, so
this is much further than I've gotten before.  Seems like the "agp" params
were **not*** carried over from the LiveDVD installer?

Anyway, thanks, I'll play around with it, see if "suspend" will work, etc.
Then I guess I would need your instruction on how to make these params
"permanent"?????
