I'm a total novice but I have encountered these issues and for what it's
worth these are the machine specs and solutions that I have used...

Hardware: Mac Mini PPC G4 (PowerPC 7447A @ 1250.00MHz) Radeon 9200

When running: Lubuntu 14.04.1
With: video=radeonfb: 1024x768-32@60
Result: running fine (no freeze) but with sluggish GUI i.e. slow window drag

When running: Lubuntu 14.10
With: video=radeonfb: 1024x768-32@60
Result: sluggish window drag and now freezing issue with only mouse cursor movement
With: video=ofonly radeon.agpmode=-1
Result: sluggish window drag but no more freezing issue

I haven't tried anything xorg.conf related as I consider this system
currently in a usable state. I did go through the motions of the
xorg.conf stuff under 14.04.1 but didn't changed anything as I have no
idea what I would change. As I said, total novice. I would be happy to
try something and report the results if someone would give me some
direction.

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?
