Oh, I did not know that! No, atm I do not have any working installation, since
I had too less time to do a proper install (I got stuck somewhere in the woody
install, but by my own fault).

I thought this weird behaviour would have only affected one or two versions of
XFree86 4.x, and unluckily the one which made it into SuSE PPC 7.1 (like gmc,
or do you like gnome sessions crashing right from the start..). I assumed
Debian wouldn't have this problem because of the steady updating. And at the
time, no one else than me reported this problem btw.

Well, so it seems to be a more besetting problem. But it seems as it would only
affect A4000 users.

I don't know anything about the XFree86 drivers, someone more knowledged has
to jump into the breach. But, if updating to XFree86 4.2.x doesn't help,
downgrading certainly would..
