Finally download YDL Final Release and installed G5 2GHz Dual :D
It is pretty good!
but I have dual monitor (Apple Cinema Display 23in + Eizo Nanao FlexScan T766, 19in)
and my display card is ATI Readeon 9800 Pro :(
so CRT display (Eizo) does not display 8)

does anyone some idea ?

As far as i know the 2.6.x kernel should support that card at least as a frame buffer; have you tried add append="video=ofonly" to your yaboot config file and see if the low lvl framebuffer driver will work (at least its a start)
