Actually, Boris was right. Lars I recommend you read the PPC FAQ.

The graphics section makes it quite clear that there's no mechanism in place to determine the appropriate graphics settings for your particular hardware:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ#Configure_graphics

Furthermore, if such a mechanism could exist, PPC is ultimately
unsupported. We, as the Lubuntu community, are supporting it, but we
don't have the resources to dedicate to innovating for PPC.

Lastly, keep in mind that what works for Radeon might create problems
for Nvidia.

That being said, really, if we have a workaround, it's fixed.

Title:
  PPC - GUI freezes except for mouse pointer

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

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?
