First off, what I want most of all is for someone to say that my computer isn't broken. I'm worried that it may be a hardware problem.

Installation seemed to work just fine. The computer boots up into Suse without too much difficulty. Though there are some really weird glitches. http://s143.photobucket.com/albums/r...t=SSPX1014.jpg

There are no errors or warnings that pop up. But the glitches get worse pretty quickly. http://s143.photobucket.com/albums/r...t=SSPX1018.jpg

Until it freezes and I have to hold down the power button to reboot. http://s143.photobucket.com/albums/r...t=SSPX1019.jpg

I might be wasting everyone's time by posting here. Booting in Mac OSX only works in safe mode. But I'm hoping that in Linux I can find what might be causing the problem.

Thanks in advance for your time.

My computer:
New World iMac G5
64-bit PPC
ATI 9600 graphics card
Now running OpenSuse 10.3, 64-bit version
