I am unable to get GPU acceleration on my PM G5. I am seeing these errors in dmesg
| Code: | [ 8.061741] [drm] radeon: irq initialized.

Which kernel do you run?
Me too got a Radeon 9600, I use gentoo-sources-4.7.3. Got no such ring errors, but the radeon driver does not work anyhow (x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati-7.7.0: "(EE) No devices detected.", ppc)

Try removing the radeon.agpmode=-1 option for your yaboot.conf. I loaded Ubuntu-MATE 16.10 and did not use it and my GPU is working now. I am planning on reloading Gentoo on a new HD and trying this as well. |

Good thought! But it did not work out. The card is running in AGP x8 mode now but still the radeon driver shows the same error.
I needed the "radeon.agpmode=-1" option for Ubuntu MATE 16.04 and 16.10 on the same machine. Without the desktop freezes sooner or later (sooner when browsing around with firefox). On my gentoo install with kernel 4.7.2 I don't seem to need it any longer (at least not with fbdev driver)... Time will tell. For now the machine is running 20min without freezing.  |

Did you enable the drm features in the kernel? see here |

| Yes. DRM features (agp, agp_uninorth, drm, drm_fbedv_emulation, drm_radeon) are enabled as modules. |
