Sweet!  Thanks for all your hard work!

FYI, I did some cleaning in the office last night and got the iMac
working again.  It's running XUbuntu edgy eft for PowerPC.  The ATI
driver is not playing nice so I switched it to using fbdev.  I'll try to
get to the bottom of the ATI driver issue so we can get acceleration
back.  Anyone fixed this before?
