I found this really helpful page on obtaining information on properties. If you have Linux installed on a PowerPC Macintosh, then finding the properties is as simple as typing this command in the terminal: cd "/proc/device-tree/pci at f0000000/NVDA,Parent at 10"

Just checked my PowerPC iMac. It has an ATI Radeon video card, so it won't be much help. 

I think the reason why OpenBIOS fails to make the property is because there is something interesting about the name. Maybe an unhandled character type like unicode is used. Having a list of all the properties that this card has would be very helpful.
