[Nouveau] nouveau on G5 Macs

[Ilia Mirkin]

Which GPU do you have? The NV40 AGP board (GeForce 6800) works
particularly poorly. However as long as you go with 4k pages (and
there's no real benefit to 64k pages for most applications), basic
things should work. I wouldn't recommend using a GL-based compositor
though.

Which distortion are you talking about?

Cheers,
