You are constantly implying ignorance instead of mistakes.

I know that mach64 doesn't support KMS, but I missed the part where
Riccardo said it was working on an older kernel. That was a mistake
on my side, but that doesn't mean you have to assume I don't know
the difference between UMS, KMS and the FB driver.

I have installed Debian's PowerPC port on almost identical hardware
in the past and I have debugged similar X.Org issues on these machines.

You, being MESA and X upstream, have certainly more in-depth knowledge
than I do. But it doesn't automatically invalidate my suggestions
like using FB as a fallback driver.

Thanks,
Adrian
