Hello all,

I have a pmg5 quad, with a x1950 xt flashed for ppc

I bought this card specifically for linux, so i didnt have to use neavoue drivers or whatever, but i have not been able to get it to display out...and honestly i think it genrrally crashes any install on any linux distro i used, including arch and gentoo.

Do i need to unflash it to boot into linux?

Did i actually mess up the flash and need to redo?

works perfectly fine under mac os 10.5 and 10.6
