Hi Martin,

kernel-image-2.6.10-powerpc (2.6.10-3) is working without this issue on my 
Powerbook G4 1.5 GHz, ATI Mobility Radeon 128 MB.

On 2.6.8 I haven't seen this bug, but another one: It seems to be impossible to 
configure X so that it isn't flickering at all. Either you use 
'append="video=ofonly"' in /etc/yaboot.conf  in order to avoid a slight 
horizontal flickering already visible in text mode, then there's only a wild 
flickering when you start X. Or you use 'append="video=radeonfb"' in order to 
make X usable, but then this slight horizontal fllickering remains also in the 
graphical mode. See also

So if you are going to release sarge with 2.6.8, then there will be computers 
that won't work with Debian stable for probably another 3 or 4 years, regarding 
the release cycles of Debian. So Sarge will be out of date when released. The 
only possibility would be to use testing or unstable, which sometimes is what 
the name says, or another distribution or Mac OS X (which is what I'm doing 
most of the time anyway).

But at the moment 2.6.10-3 is in testing/sarge. Do you want to downgrade?
