Mac Mini G4 problems with DVI displays

Mac Minis don't work with DVI displays with an out-of-the-box install. In order to make it work with DVI displays, it is necessary to boot off of a live CD using the following parameters in the bootloader: 

live-nosplash-powerpc modprobe ide-core video=radeonfb:1920x1200-24@60

It will take the system a while to boot. When you finally get to a live desktop, go ahead and install Ubuntu by clicking on the install icon and answering the prompts. The parameters passed on to the system in the bootloader will carry over into the installation process, and the system should work just fine with DVI monitors once the process is finished.
