I would have added this to the wiki, but the powerpc page is "Immutable." Anyways. The xorg.conf.new that X -configure generates only partially works. It brings up X, but the display isn't exactly correct. Like it's using the wrong endian for the display (basically it looks like sets of pixels are bunched together.) I remember running into this issue some time ago on Linux with Xorg, so I knew the fix. Option "MacModel" "mini-internal" was required to be added to the xorg.conf for the driver to behave correctly. Like I said, I was going to make a note of that on the wiki for others who may run into that caveat but I can't edit the page. I'm sure that info is elsewhere, but I'd still argue that it'd be useful to mention on the wiki, or perhaps even in the known issues.
