> For one, radeon DRI didn't work on PPC yet in XFree86 4.2. Several messages I've googled upon while trying to find a soultion suggested that 4.3.0 corrected this.

It persists over multiple reboots and/or powercycles, however leaving the system off for several hours generally corrects the problem or reduces the severity of the effect. However, on occassion the problem escalates to a complete breakage of the palette and inversion or shift of some colors -- for instance, my purple background fvwm2 may appear orange-green or grayish-blue at times. This also persists over a reboot, however getting the iBook to sleep through pmud sometimes causes it to revert to a less severe state (as pictured here: http://homepages.stuy.edu/~akoukarkine/artefacts/artefacts.html, for example). None of these effects are visible upon rebooting into OS X (Panther), and they do not manifest after running Panther for several hours continuously, which suggests the hardware isn't faulty. I also ran the VRAM tests included on the Apple hardware test CD, and they came up clean. Rebooting into OS X then back into Linux does not solve the problem. > The server log would be more interesting. Here it is, I guess I had forgotten to attach it:
