Pat,

There is currently work in progress regarding AGP. This work can be 
followed on the https://ozlabs.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxppc-dev 
mailing list. There is also a 
https://ozlabs.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linuxppc64-dev list for 
those 64-bit minded people :-)

Personally I have a Dual G5 (version 2.2) and have X running. I will 
send my XFConfig86-4 as soon as I reboot back into debian.

From MacOSX my graphics card information is

ATY,RV350:

  Type:	display
  Bus:	AGP
  Slot:	SLOT-1
  VRAM (Total):	64 MB
  Vendor:	ATI (0x1002)
  Device ID:	0x4150
  Revision ID:	0x0000
  ROM Revision:	113-A13601-126


Paddy.
