I have a 867mhz Powerbook g4 ti. It has 1 gig of ram. I can not get it to boot any live cd for ppc architecture. I have even tried other distro's for ppc. All always do the same thing. They start to boot. Then get to a weird washed out looking screen. Tried video=ofonly and tried a few other commands specific to my video card I found others had luck with. Just want to get hardy heron running on this machine.
I know that there is quite a few "flavours" of ubuntu. However, I want to get the most performance out of my machine. I'm not sure which one to use. Specs:
PPC 500mhz processor, 384MB RAM (10.3 OSX)
I heard that I can use ubuntu but I should use xbuntu (because of the low processor and ram). I'm not sure which one to use.
I'm aware that nouveau on PPC is "known to work" more than "rigorously tested" but I'm having issues with certain OpenGL 2D programs (not 3D) where the colors are completely off.
While it could be an issue w/ the application (note Alpha in title), SDL works well, if not a bit slow.
What information should I capture in order to send upstream?
