The only way to actually disable all the GPU/GUI features in 10.5 that I have found is to have a tower and remove the video card. That means you can only remote into it.

I have a G4/400 Sawtooth with 1 GB of RAM running Mac OS X 10.5.8. The system is equipped with a flashed PC version ATI Radeon 9800 Pro 128 MB video card driving a 23" Cinema HD at 1920 x 1200/32 bits. The system supports Quartz Extreme and hardware accelerated Core Image.
Performance is satisfactory for normal use (i.e. Web browsing, Mail, office applications, Finder operations, etc.) although most modern video is not playable.
Thirteen years old and 400 MHz! Amazing...

IIRC, isn't that puppy a 2X AGP? and weren't most 9800's 4X AGP, or faster? so did you upclock the Sawtooth's AGP, or downclock the flashed 9800 card? or did they make flashable 2X 9800's on the dark side?

And, as mattkime said, it should run 10.8.

I'm still using mikebw's 350mhz Sawtooth. Works like a champ. Excellent design.
I'd settle for snow leopard.

not at all. its annoying that apple doesn't handle this better. there isn't much reason why 10.8 couldn't run on G3 machines.
