What hardware are you testing on? I'm running 13.04 lubuntu on an ibook g4,
most everything works very well, like wireless.

I do have the pseudo 8 bit issue on the live CD and the install if I don't
do the fix (it escapes me, but I'll find it if you need it - I'm on my
phone). It's a different graphics issue than previous, you can see more
than 12.10.

Ubuntu doesn't have the pseudo 8 bit issue, though.

I'm still quite a beginner when it comes to testing, I'm learning all I can
to help make ppc architecture more usable.
