org.conf

I just installed Debian on my PowerBook G4 12", but my X server refuses to start.  I've appended my Xorg.log and xorg.conf.

This is with a Debian testing system with the following (relevant) packages:

   # dpkg -l '*nouveau' 'drm*' 'xserver-xorg'
   Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold
   | Status=Not/Inst/Cfg-files/Unpacked/Failed-cfg/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend
   |/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err: uppercase=bad)
   ||/ Name                          Version                                Description
   +++-===============================================================================================================================
   un  drm-modules                   <none>                                 (no description available)
   ii  drm-modules-2.6.26-1-powerpc  2.4.1+git+20081116+930c0e7-1+2.6.26-12 DRM rendering modules for Linux (kernel 2.6.26-1-powerpc).
   ii  drm-modules-source            2.4.1+git+20081116+930c0e7-1           Source for the DRM kernel rendering modules
   ii  xserver-xorg                  1:7.3+18                               the X.Org X server
   ii  xserver-xorg-video-nouveau    1:0.0.10~git+20081028+cea05e1-1        X.Org X server -- Nouveau display driver (experimental)

Reading this list it appears that the `nouveau' driver should work on my
machine (tho I'm not quite sure yet whether I'll be able to use the
composite-video output to my TV set).  So I guess I'm doing something
stupid, but I can't seem to figure out what.  I tried with and without the
UseFBDev option, but it makes no difference.  Any idea what I might
be missing?
