I think there is already a bug filed, but I had trouble finding it:

	https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-ati/+bug/1058641

I don't see anything on the release page:

	http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/releases/13.10/release/

Maybe it is lower down on the list of known PPC issues:

	https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCKnownIssues

but the soluton listed there is much more verbose that the minimum
needed to boot.

/Lars
