Booting Linux PPC with PC 7800gtx

Hi all,

I think I read somewhere that this is possible you just won't have
graphics until linux loads.
Correct?

Try it, see what happens.

If you are talking about a card with a PC bios on it, the the nouveau drivers has a mode to load the bios from a file, and it will initializes the card at the point in the boot process.

Tho you can just flash the card with the FCode ROM and be done with it.

Hi DearthnVader,

Thanks for the reply.
I just want to test if everything works alright before committing to
flashing the card ( I also need to find an PCI graphics card to do it ).
