This updates the g5 defconfig to include nouveau instead of nvidiafb
(which works much better nowadays, in fact the latter crashes on modern
distros),

Does it?  Nvidiafb is super stable here, whereas nouveau has a lot of
problems.

nvidiafb crashes solid here when X gets involved.

What do you mean by "lots of problems" ? I've been using nouveau for a
long time now on my two quad g5's including 3D, gnome-shell etc...
without anything more than a glitch or two on the edge of windows...

Also can you remind me what machine model and what video card variant ?

Cheers,
Ben.
