Here on Quad G5 Xorg crash totally on jessie and it
is not usable ...

Subject: Debian Jessie with openbox on iBook G4 crashing when
firmware-linux-nonfree is installed

Hi!
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
