Indeed that solve the symptoms. I discover this was also documented here:

[...] image=/boot/vmlinux label=Linux read-only initrd=/boot/initrd.img append="radeon.agpmode=-1 modprobe.blacklist=ams" [...]
I am not sure what the 'ams' thingy is doing, but I am using it over here.
The funny thing is that dragging window and moving them around makes the pointer and the window out-of-sync. Still usable though after a while.
If AGP is simply not supported on PowerPC, it would be nice to have a clearer message (or at least a warning).
Thanks
