first, I noticed something very strange: if I connect remotely to the PowerBook, then set DISPLAY :0 which shows things on the screen, glxgears run!
Running GL applications through X forwarding is completely different than
running them locally. When going over the network, there is no DRM and
hardware acceleration. You can take this as a measure.
Also, if GL would support rendering over the network, it would most likely
happen on the server (in X speech, i.e. the machine you are connecting from)
and not the PowerBook. But again, DRM does not work over the network.
But running it in a real local xterm, doesn't work. This is the crash:
Starting program: /usr/bin/glxgears

It looks like you are using software rendering anyway. What does "glxinfo"
say? Can you paste the output here?
Also, have you installed the firmware-amd-graphics package which contains
firmware necessary for many AMD/ATI cards? If I remember correctly, the
firmware is needed on the G4 laptops with a Radeon chipset.
