fine until I started xorg-7.0: the screen blacked and the keyboard and mouse
were not responding any more, so I had to shutdown the machine. The same X
config worked well with 9600pro card(64M). <BR>I tried also ppc32 chroot on my
system with xorg-6.8.2, it worked as expected. The last part of Xorg.0.log file
is as follows, which was left by the broken xorg-7.0: </SPAN></DIV>
