I have built the images, and tested it on radeon with the 9200SE, i confirm
that disable-module=radeon is uncomented, and the bugs (white-on-white during
selection, broken font in the console) are gone this way.
I am uploading the images i built to http://people.debian.org/~luther/g-i so
we others can test. I will do an announcement on debian-powerpc now.
