Yep, apt-get install xserver-xfree=4.0.2 indeed already did the trick,
I could leave the remaining packages at 4.0.3!
Now I'd just like to know how I let the beast know the amount of VRAM I have.
Though I did specify
VideoRam 8192
in the Driver section, it invariably only recognizes a part of it:
(--) ATI(0): 6140 kB of SDRAM (1:1) detected.
Not too bad, at least, XFree 3.3 sometimes only detected 3MB ...

Thanks from me, too, the darn ati driver just would not compile, though
"make World" completed without errors. "make" in the ati dir still resulted
in an
rm -f atibus.o
gcc -c -O2 -fsigned-char -I.

maybe the rest of the tree is not up to date enough with Ani's xfree86
(the only source I could locate was the X401 from linuxppc.org).
