Bug#399636: g3 imac: installation with the gtk-mini.iso

[Rick Thomas <rbthomas55@pobox.com>]

So far, I believe I'm the only one to try it with an Nvidia board on  
ppc64.

The g5 machine only runs MacOS-X.  I just tried the g-i to see if I  
could get it to display, since I know that is a problem area.  I  
don't want to put Linux on it.

So, given that, is there anything I can do that would be helpful?   
I'm not sure what is involved in "set the X server to use the fbdev  
device".

Enjoy!

Rick
