Hi Brice,

I downloaded

xserver-xorg-core_1.4.2-1_powerpc.deb   26-Jun-2008 15:02  4.3M

from http://debian.lcs.mit.edu/debian/pool/main/x/xorg-server/

and did "dpkg -i" of it.  I then replaced the xorg.conf file with the
original, and rebooted.

It came up in 800x600 mode.

xrandr gives

Screen 0: minimum 800 x 600, current 800 x 600, maximum 800 x 600
default connected 800x600+0+0 0mm x 0mm
    800x600       60.0* 56.0

Does it work if you force a bigger mode with PreferredMode+ModeLine in
xorg.conf as explained in Section III.5 of
http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/HowToRandR12 ?

Only if I add to the Monitor section these two lines...

        HorizSync       31-80
        VertRefresh     56-76

Without them it still gives 800x600

Here's the Xorg.0.log file and the /etc/X11/org.conf file
