System freeze with radeon driver on G4 AGP Graphics

[ppc luddite]

While testing Lubuntu 13.04, I have to boot with the yaboot parameter video=radeonfb:off to get 3D acceleration on my G4 Power Mac AGP Graphics with an ATI Radeon 9000, but after a couple of minutes use, the system freezes. This happens after every boot. I think I found the relevant passage in my /var/log/kern.log:

This is my first *ubuntu install, so I can´t compare it to previous versions. I also tried adding video=offb:off to the video=radeonfb:off parameter, but it didn´t help.

PowerPC + radeon + Kernel Mode Setting (KMS) has problems with AGP. If you force pci mode radeon.agpmode=-1 does this help?

Userspace mode setting with radeon was dropped after Ubuntu 12.04/Debian wheezy so you have to use KMS in 12.10 onwards. KMS on PowerPC is something that really needs sorting. If you want to help with the issue, then report it on Bugzilla https://bugs.freedesktop.org/ or even the PowerPC kernel mailing list https://lists.ozlabs.org/pipermail/linuxppc-dev/ .

[ojordan (ojordan12345)]

I also should add that in addition to this problem, there are a few colour issues with radeon KMS. A lot of fixes have gone in, and it is much better than it was, but last time I tried I was still getting this https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-ati/+bug/1052619 . If you use a compositing manager it is much better. I will NOT be following up on that bug, as I do not use LXDE. There are enough people shoving Lubuntu down your throat, and they should be looking into these issues. It needs reporting on bugzilla also.
