cant get linux booting beyond black screen on powerbook g4 with nvidia 420 go
by sebasboy from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5MA4Q)
hello good day. i got a little powerbook g4 12 inch here witha 867 mhz g4 and a nvidia 4 420go (nice)
i've tried mintPPC and lubuntu remix and either it black screens after the installation or it black screens during boot of the live environment.
the lubuntu distro had 2 commands for both nvidia en amd cards but it appeared to not be working.
the os does seem to boot fine considering the dvd drive activity during the black screen for a while.
anyone got any tips when it comes to powerpc stuff? sadly alot of documentation is getting scarce
