I've tested this package on a PowerBook (Lombard series), and it gives similar symptoms to the older version of the XF68_FBDev. If I run without acceleration, everything works fine. If I run with acceleration it works a while, but then the entire server crashes. If I run Xpmac (from the LinuxPPC RPM) it works fine with acceleration, but it messes up my "font:VGA8x8" upon switching away from X. If I run XF68_FBDev from ftp://devel.linuxppc.org/users/trini/XFree86-3.3.5/ it seems to work with acceleration (hasn't crashed yet). Something isn't fully compatible with the debian patching and this machine. 3.3.5 _does_ work better than 3.3.3.1, because 3.3.3.1 _always_ crashed when it reinitialised the accel code when switching back from console to X. /Stefan
