sleep/suspend works in Hoary with the 2.6.10-5-powerpc kernel on at least the Al [PowerBook G4 1.5 MHz 17] G4 From HarryNoble Sat Apr 16 05:07:43 +0100 2005 From: Harry Noble Date: Sat, 16 Apr 2005 05:07:43 +0100 Subject: works ibook G3 700 Message-ID: <20050416050743+0100@https://www.ubuntulinux.org> installer works and boots up. But only to 640x480 resolution will not allow you to change until I added syncs to monitor settings in /etc/X11/xorg.conf Section "Monitor" Identifier "Color LCD" added HorizSync 31-101 added VertRefresh 60-160 Option "DPMS"
These newer models are quite poorly supported. Kernel 2.6.12 might bring massive improvements.

A lot of things went ok (network, etc...) but the display was garbled. Instead of a steady image, two ghost images on left and right are superimposed with the normal image. Every part of the screen is cut into horizontal stripes which are constantly moving down, with some more random stuff on the right. The result is hardly readable during the text part. The graphic part (X11) had the same problem, but it becomes frankly unreadable because of lower contrast. The mouse cursor was also affected by the symptoms. I then tried to boot using video=ofonly as suggested. The text part went ok this time, but the X11 part was worse. No more stripes but a cubist mess formed a repetitive pattern on the screen. I recognized the colors of the ubuntu background picture but no more. Only the mouse cursor was displayed ok and could move at will on all screen. When trying to switch back to text mode I noticed that text mode (framebuffer actually) could not be restored properly. Going back to X11 came back but didn't fix anything. Log message on the console said that video board was radeon. I can't proceed to deep analysis (it's not mine, the hardware will run MacOS X anyway) but I though you'd appreciate at least such a report. I can probably give more info (hardware ids, etc...) if you ask. Thank you for this great project !
