The primary issue relating just to ppc was fixed in kernel 2.6.29.y, so any recent Ubuntu will not be hitting that issue.
The secondary issue of rendering blue backgrounds is not ppc-specific (per my comment #44). This issue is worked around by turning off KMS (setting modeset=0 in /etc/modprobe.d/radeon-kms.conf) or removing radeonfb from the kernel (comments #46 and #47). Based on https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27502, I believe this is no longer an issue with recent kernel and driver versions. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/370200 Title: r300 on "PowerBook G4" mac: only swrast after booting and backgrounds render blue instead of black To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/370200/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
