Configure Xorg on 2001 PPC iBook with Debian 6

[Mike Mackenna]

Added this to the device section as shown below.  The weird part is
that when I try to do a "startx" it acts like it is going to work and
I just get one bar of color across a black screen.  I also can not do
a Ctrl Atl F1 or F2 to get a different tty session.  The only way I
can restart is to hold down the power button or ssh in to issue a
reboot command.  I get totally locked out of the machine.  When I ssh
to the box top shows Xorg just hammering at the processor with like
90% utilization.

Thanks for the help!
