great! with this configuration i've been finally able to run xfree86 on
my powerbook!!! i had to correct the keyboard settings, but it was non
problem.
unfortunately it still have some glitches... starting or quitting xfree
sometimes leaves the display somehow "scrambled". it has horizontal
disturbs, much like a slightly out of sync TV. restarting X seems to
correct the problem. this problem seems to appear at random, with no
regular pattern. out of 10 start-quit cycles (20 switches) it happened a
couple of times: the first time i started X and, after several restarts,
on quitting it.
what could it be? any idea on how to solve the problem?
(the XFree86.0.log doesn't seem to contain specific errors, anyway i can
put it online somewhere).
anyway thanks a lot to everybody.

p.s. i'm not the "original" recipient of the mail, but i asked similar
questions a few weeks ago. it would be really nice to collect all these
suggestion in a straightforward "PowerBook How-To"... or something similar.
