[Bug 1377878] Re: PPC - GUI freezes except for mouse pointer

 

Hello all,

@Walter I did encounter this in 14.04.1 as well

it works if I force PCI mode via yaboot radeon.agpmode=-1  (which I
thought was the expected workaround for an unknown issue with AGP and
the user would be expected to use it)

While on my system with a 9200 based chip under OSX it's listed as AGP
4x I vaguely remember Apple once only listing a similar chip as AGP
supported without them actually having it implemented that way (if that
would make sense? but I think it was with the even older Rage 128 series
if I recall correctly)

Title:
  PPC - GUI freezes except for mouse pointer

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  During the installation the computer freezes completely except for the
  mouse pointer.  And even that is stuck with whatever shape it happened
  to have at the time it froze.  The steps I have to cause the freeze
  are run Ubiquity to start the installation open a terminal, run
  Ubuntu-bug and let it launch Firefox.  It will freeze every time then.
  Even the consoles (ctrl-alt-f1 etc) are unavailable.  What kind of
  information can I collect and how?
