Hi Brice,

I downloaded

xserver-xorg-core_1.4.2-1_powerpc.deb   26-Jun-2008 15:02  4.3M

from http://debian.lcs.mit.edu/debian/pool/main/x/xorg-server/

and did "dpkg -i" of it.  I then replaced the xorg.conf file with the
original, and rebooted.

It came up in 800x600 mode.

xrandr gives

Screen 0: minimum 800 x 600, current 800 x 600, maximum 800 x 600
default connected 800x600+0+0 0mm x 0mm
    800x600       60.0* 56.0

Does it work if you force a bigger mode with PreferredMode+ModeLine in
xorg.conf as explained in Section III.5 of
http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/HowToRandR12 ?

As I stated in the original bug report: If I make the following changes to the xorg.conf file, it works...

    $ diff xorg.conf xorg.conf.ORIG

While it uses a "Modes" instead of a PreferredMode+ModeLine, it may be a clue. Do you still need me to test it with PreferredMode+ModeLine?
