X.org-6.8.0 is a pain on ppc.

Our current main issues:
- freezes when a GLX-application starts on Rage128 (tested
  on several systems)
- keyboard handling has changed (you can't switch back to a
  console)
- various weird colour-handling with Radeon-cards, esp. on
  the PowerBook.

In our meeting at September 30 we said, that we won't switch
to the newer version.  We are waiting for another release
which hopefully will resolve the problems.

Regards, Lars
