Did you try also the real debian on it : 

  (cd booting)
  http://cdimage.debian.org/pub/cdimage-testing/daily/powerpc/current/debian-testing-powerpc-netinst.iso

  (net booting)
  http://people.debian.org/~luther/d-i/images/daily/powerpc64/netboot64/ 

or only the unoficial ppc64 stuff ? 
 
Also, since the debian kernel has matroxfb built-in, it would also be helpfull
if you could try booting the graphical installer, and reported success or
failure on it : 

  http://people.debian.org/~luther/d-i/images/daily/powerpc64/netboot64/

And report if it worked or not.

This is i belive an X.org bug, and you should file a bugreport against the
xorg-xserver package, by calling :

  reportbug xserver-xorg

and following instructions.

BTW, i would be interested in the /proc/cpuinfo of that box, could you provide
it ?
