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 ?

I went ahead and tried ModeLine and PreferredMode as per this diff.
It didn't change anything -- still 800x600
rbthomas@ribbit:~$ diff -c /etc/X11/xorg.conf.ORIG /etc/X11/
