v6.12.0 Xorg.log

Hi
Before xf86-video-ati-6.11.0, X starts OK (I'm writing this using it)
With 6.11.0, 6.12.0, 6.12.1, all I have is a black screen.
I can still get to linux console via Alt-Ctrl-Fn and revert to 6.10.0 quite easily.
Xorg.0.log shows me nothing hinting.
I'm on a MacMini, G4. Gentoo ~ppc.

xorg-server-1.5.3 (-r2, -r5)

Can you attach the xorg log from the working version of the driver?

Sorry for the lag.
Don't know what the strings that seems like a md5 sum means in the FIXED comment.
I hope this is good omen.

v6.12.1-r1 Xorg.log (fails)

(I move toward hal/evdev since last time). Next attachment is v6.10.0 with hal/evdev and that (still) works.

I have the same problem (i.e. black screen after a time delay), but have a
ATI 3D Rage Pro AGP, so have emerged xf86-video-mach64-6.8.0.  Any chance
for similar fix for it?  I have attached my Xorg.0.log.

That's a different driver and probably a different issue.  Please open a different bug report for it.
