Yes, when the X server worked on PPC without "UseFBDev" - which it doesn't
right now - I did see the same effect, regardless of whether I specified
"UseFBDev" or not.

Also, is the fix that you came up with available as a patch against the
4.1.0.1 tree that Debian is using at present, so I can just build my own
local X server package and use that until 4.2.0 is released, and packages
for it make their way into Sid? I could, I suppose, use a local parallel X
install, but I'd rather not, if for no other reason than saving disk space
for other stuff. :)
