Here on Quad G5 Xorg crash totally on jessie and it is not usable ...
sed the Wheezy was working really good.
The same issue i face on Lubuntu 15.04 and Ubuntu Mate too.
I had been reported the issue of Xorg to xorg devs with a screenshot of the issue and crash.

To:
debian-powerpc@lists.debian.orgHi!
I have upgraded my Debian Wheezy to Jessie on my iBook G4 following the upgrade manual from Debian which is really great by the way.
After that I wasn't able to type the username in the Loginpanel (slim).
I was able to change to the command line with CTRL+ALT+F1 and starting a openbos session with "startx". Openbox crashes then after ii try to resize a window.
With firmware-linux-nonfree not installed it works without crashing once.
There are also two kernel modules that can't be loaded. ppdev andapm_emu.
I decied to make a fresh install. Same behaviour. I made a fresh install on another iBook G3. Same behaviour.
Then I tried uninstalling packages. firmware-linux-nonfree was the reproducable cause. After reinstalling it crashes again.
When running the system without firmware-linux-nonfree I have no sound. So I decided to help myself with a 10$ USB DAC from EBAY. It worked fine as workaround.
Does anyone else had also the same problem?
Cheers
Chris
