how long have you had your iBook for? i purchased mine just this week... perhaps
there is some small change in the graphics card or i2c bus? which frame buffer
do you use? i had to use the OF one (safe-install) to get debian to install and
it would not allow for X to run. the radeonfb just did not start up.

Sam
