I am looking to install Lubuntu 13.10 on my old PPC iMac g4 700MHz, but it won't even attempt to boot due to the graphics driver. I was able to successfully fix the graphics driver issues using the instructions on this link:

but they do not work on anything other than 12.04. Is there any way to install Lubuntu 13.10 and be able to swap the nouveau driver for the older nv driver or am I stuck at 12.04. I would use 1204, but 12.04 in Lubuntu isn't an LTS version so it lost support and Regular Ubuntu 12.04 is almost unusable due to it is so slow that it's funny it even runs on it because you move a window and you can just about watch each pixel move. The only way to get it to boot is to type in at the second stage of yaboot is "Linux nouveau.modeset=0". I did try typing in "Linux nouveau.noaccel=1", but that doesn't work. With the current nouveau driver, if I try to boot normally, it will start to boot, but once the graphics driver boots, part of the screen is white and the other part (which is random each time) will do some sort of gradient green stripes and fade away. If you guys want, I can take a photo of it if you don't know what I am talking about. I just don't know what to do, I see plenty of instructions on how to do it in 12.04, but none in anything newer. If you guys need any more information, please let me know as for I really need to get this fixed. Thank you for reading this and I hope you know how to fix it!
