You should stop looking a glxgears fps. It means nothing. It's not a
benchmark, _really_. It could be 50fps with 3D working fine because of
sync to vblank. And it could be 1000fps without 3D acceleration if the
CPU was very fast.

Which xserver-xorg-core do you have? 1.6 should arrive for powerpc soon
(in unstable).
Once you'll have tried Xserver 1.6 (or 1.5.99 from experimental) and if
it still doesn't work, please send the whole output of
/usr/share/bug/xserver-xorg/script 3>&1

Compiz 0.8.2 has been uploaded a couple days ago, it should arrive for
powerpc in the next days as usual. There is no problem there.
