Hello everyone,
I used Debian Squeeze on my PowerBook G4 12" with nvidia-graphics.
For the video-card i used the "nv"-driver, which worked well.
But in the Wheezy-Repos this driver is not present anymore, and the other drivers don't work or aren't available for ppc. Which driver do you use instead? Is there anyone with the same hardware?
Thanks for reading

I haven't found a solution for your particular machine. I don't have such a machine to test. You are right, nv no longer exists in Wheezy. You have to use the nouveau driver. To use it right, you have to come up with an xorg.conf file which works. You might want to have a look at my own thread for the iMac G5. In there you might find some tricks to try. I would start by disabling acceleration in nouveau, see this thread:
