I'm a total novice but I have encountered these issues and for what it's worth these are the machine specs and solutions that I have used...
Hardware: Mac Mini PPC G4 (PowerPC 7447A @ 1250.00MHz) Radeon 9200 When running: Lubuntu 14.04.1 With: video=radeonfb: 1024x768-32@60 Result: running fine (no freeze) but with sluggish GUI i.e. slow window drag When running: Lubuntu 14.10 With: video=radeonfb: 1024x768-32@60 Result: sluggish window drag and now freezing issue with only mouse cursor movement With: video=ofonly radeon.agpmode=-1 Result: sluggish window drag but no more freezing issue I haven't tried anything xorg.conf related as I consider this system currently in a usable state. I did go through the motions of the xorg.conf stuff under 14.04.1 but didn't changed anything as I have no idea what I would change. As I said, total novice. I would be happy to try something and report the results if someone would give me some direction. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1377878 Title: PPC - GUI freezes except for mouse pointer Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: During the installation the computer freezes completely except for the mouse pointer. And even that is stuck with whatever shape it happened to have at the time it froze. The steps I have to cause the freeze are run Ubiquity to start the installation open a terminal, run Ubuntu-bug and let it launch Firefox. It will freeze every time then. Even the consoles (ctrl-alt-f1 etc) are unavailable. What kind of information can I collect and how?
