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.
