David Woodhouse reports that xorg-x11-6.8.1-ati-radeon-dynamic-clocks-fix-2.patch breaks X on ppc. Ben Herrenschmidt has a set of patches that should fix the dynamic clocks issue properly and we should try those out once FC5 opens up. For now though, we just enable dynamic clocks on PPC which fix the problem. Patch by David.
