Hi Mike, thank you for your reply .
yes im sorry i was fixed the issue yesterday night,
forcing the module  i2c_powermac loaded from etc/modules
stange it was not loaded by default like it was before.
in any way *fixed :-)

About the RadeonHD , yes you are true, have the Mesa/Gallium 
working is problematic but what is not problematic in the good ppc world ? :-)

Right now im using the software resterized i didnt had the time
to check everythings regarding the gpu because i was need 
first fix the turbine noise in my home made by powermac (or my wife had been kill me)
The good thing i see all the firmware -nonfree loaded without errors 
before not and with lubuntu 14.04ts i dint have a good rasterizing too on 6570hd.
Forget to mention, before for have the radeonhd working on g5 quad i was need the X1900gt in couple with 4xxx and 6xxx hd,
now im using it in couple with and Nvidia with apple firmware. i think this is the best advance for make people 
from the ppc apple community swap finnally their gpu.
I hope soon will be able to have the mesa gallium working there for advance the communty .

here couple of screenshots.
