I can't proceed to deep analysis (it's not mine, the hardware will run MacOS X anyway) but I though you'd appreciate at least such a report. Log message on the console said that video board was radeon. Going back to X11 came back but didn't fix anything. When trying to switch back to text mode I noticed that text mode (framebuffer actually) could not be restored properly. Only the mouse cursor was displayed ok and could move at will on all screen. I recognized the colors of the ubuntu background picture but no more. No more stripes but a cubist mess formed a repetitive pattern on the screen. The text part went ok this time, but the X11 part was worse. I then tried to boot using video=ofonly as suggested. The mouse cursor was also affected by the symptoms. The graphic part (X11) had the same problem, but it becomes frankly unreadable because of lower contrast. The result is hardly readable during the text part. Every part of the screen is cut into horizontal stripes which are constantly moving down, with some more random stuff on the right. Instead of a steady image, two ghost images on left and right are superimposed with the normal image. A lot of things went ok (network, etc.) but the display was garbled. I tried the Hoary liveCD yesterday on a Powerbook G4 15" bought in may 2005.
Sleep/suspend works in Hoary with the 2.6.10-5-powerpc kernel on at least the Al G4 external display: does not work in Warty, works with new X.org server (now in Hoary).Known to NOT work: builtin wireless on newer models (i.e.Known to work: graphics, disk, CPU scaling, USB, sound, wired network, CD burning, firewire, modem, sleep/suspend.
