How I got XFree 4.0.2 working on this machine:

* got the apple cinema display patch from 
<http://penguinppc.org/~olaf/linux-2.4.1/y_ppc_2.4.0ac6_apple_cinema.dif>

* applied the patch to the bitkeeper 2.4 kernel from
bitkeeper.fsmlabs.com

* compiled the new kernel

* rebooted, with the kernel option "video=aty128fb:vmode:22"

* installed the debian X4.0.2 packages from testing

* used the following /etc/X11/XF86Config-4:

# XF86Config-4 (XFree86 server configuration file) generated by Dexconf, the
# Debian X Configuration tool, using values from the debconf database.
#
# Edit this file with caution, and see the XF86Config manual page.
# (Type "man XF86Config" at the shell prompt.)
