Hi everyone,

Actually, I no longer have it installed … however as I recall in Jaunty on
my PPC iMac G5 20" I was able to choose the nouveau driver instead and
restart, with no need  to apply the patch.

I had some trouble doing it but got it to work. I posted info to
ppclinux.info:

Let me know if that works,
Ray
