It's about time we had a way to software control our nVidia cards on PowerPC. The old Linux/BSD nVclock should be able to support all the hardware we have, and it was ported to OS X, it's just no one ever got it to run on PPC.

Here is the link to the source code for the backend kernel extension:

The mapMemoryDriver does build with Xcode 2.5 on Tiger PPC however it needs some work and relies on things not found in Tiger PPC.

Sadly I can find the full source code to the command line nVclock that was modified for Darwin just the full source for nVclock on GitHub and a partial source tree from Macintosh repository:

Let's make this a reality for our retro PPC needs, I know we have some good coders around here, dig in and help.
