The atimisc driver for Mach64 based hardware doesn't support Option
"UseFBDev".

Maybe just the sync ranges in the Monitor section; older Apple hardware
tends to require special treatment there.

You shouldn't report problems with unofficial packages here. The
documentation of my packages clearly states where to report problems; if
you disagree, patches are welcome.
The dri-trunk packages don't offer anything for Mach64 based hardware
anyway (then again, you override the module path to the modules provided
by xserver-xfree86, but seem to have overwritten the atimisc driver with
one which contains DRI support? Quite a mess...).
