What is the state of the radeon driver on ppc machines? I tested Ubuntu 9.04 on a PowerBook G4 with a Mobility 9600 and it didn't seem to have 3D acceleration with the default driver. Have not yet tested the latest from git yet.

Yes, this is a kernel bug, should be fixed in an update soon: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/345542

You could try
or
But not both the same time, remove is like this
dpkg --purge drm-r6xx-r7xx-support-dkms
or
dpkg --purge drm-r6xx-r7xx-3d-dkms
That only updates the drm modules, kernel version does not matter. If ppc does not compile all modules just change it a little bit. I compile all because i want to be able to switch to other cards too.
