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 ?

nouveau doesn't work on my machine. There is a bug in Xorg project https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=21273 It need to make a workaround for correct initialization of video card. Unfortunately, I am not skilled enough for it. Nvidiafb worked fine for me, but I am not using it. Andrey
