The iMac mostly works fine, though there is no DRI so the GUI is a=20 little sluggish. The PowerMac has the fan issue and only 640x480 res.=C2=A0 If I recall it= was=20 using the vesa driver and I didn't spend time trying to improve it since = I run this system headless anyway. --=20 Earth is a beta site.
