Hello Julien,

I found this thread on Debian BTS while looking for information on this bug.
I confirm having still the same bug on my Powerbook G4 as the one Teemu experienced back in 2006.
As requested, I have attached to this message my Xorg log.

My current configuration is a debian-ppc squeeze/sid with gdm 2.20.10-3 and Xorg 7.5+6.
If you need more information, please tell me.

Best regards.

Jad
