On Sun, 08 Jan 2006 the mental interface of
Andre Timmermann told:

Package: xserver-xorg
Version: 6.9.0.dfsg.1-2
Followup-For: Bug #345914

Starting X freezes my PowerBook5,6 (radeon) completely. No net, no
console. So I had to hard reset the machine. I tried the following:

Recreating a xorg.conf by dpkg-reconfigure -> no success

Switching from ati(radeon) driver to fbdev -> no success, but no
freeze.

Switching from 24 to 16 DefaultDepth + fbdev -> no success, X shows
the wm splashscreen with an cross cursor similar to the twm one but
shuts down after a while. This might be considerable with a broken
libpango at ppc, I am not sure yet.

Installing libgl1-mesa-dri in the hope r300 is used with radeon
driver -> frozen machine.
