Hi.  I'm also very new to Linux on a PPC.  Is it expected that these
newer PPCs with nvidia cards will actually have accelerated graphics
support via X at some point in the future?  For instance, will nvidia be
release PPC-based Linux drivers?  Something like this would solidify my
purchase of a new G4.
