Bug Description
I just tried to boot Edgy Knot 1 on my iMac 1.9Ghz
Machine Name: iMac G5
Machine Model: PowerMac12,1
CPU Type: PowerPC G5 (3.0)
Number Of CPUs: 1
CPU Speed: 1.9 GHz
L2 Cache (per CPU): 512 KB
Memory: 1 GB
Bus Speed: 633 MHz
Boot ROM Version: 5.2.6f1
I wasn't able to boot this machine under Dapper at all so this is a bit of an improvement. I had to use the suggested boot argument for the video to get past the white screen issue. After that usplash worked fine. Then gdm loads and I just get a black screen for a while. I can hear Gnome loading and then I get distorted graphics on my screen. Very strange.

Hello,
I own a iMac G5 rev C (PowerMac12,1) like you (but 20", 2,1GHz version). I have the same problem. I reached to configured xorg like described in http:// wiki.ubuntu. com/iMacG5revC .
This bug is confirmed.
