Bug Description
System: PowerMac 7,2
Video card: ATI X800 XT
Display: 1440x900
With this video card the display is corrupted on approximately 9 out of 10 attempts to boot. On one boot out of 10 it works. When the display shows corruption it is in the form of a distorted checkerboard. The machine apparently locks up as the fans eventually come fully on.
The appended parameters on yaboot are:
radeon.agpmode=-1 video=offb:off video=radeonfb:off radeon.modeset=1
This is the same system as in bug #1605413 except I changed out the video card.
This card also does not work when trying to boot Ubuntu-mate 16.10 Alpha 1
What I expected to happen:
The system boots to a normal desktop.
What happened instead:
Rarely do I get to a desktop. Usually the display is corrupted and the system locks up.
Ubuntu Mate 16.04

I see that I made a mistake and reported this against xserver- xorg-video- nouveau. I think it should be xserver- xorg-video- radeon instead.
