Issues with ADB devices in X11 on m68k Macs should be no different on
linux-ppc on Old World Macs (i.e. pre-USB). So you could try searching or
asking on a Debian/PPC mailing list, in case someone there uses ADB and
runs Xorg from the unstable archive. Also check the Debian/PPC doco for
powermac info.

I would send you an xorg.conf but I don't have access to that disk at the
moment.

There are kernel modules that need to be loaded for HID and evdev. I don't
recall which ones exactly.
