X is now working again on my PB3400.

The primary thing I did was to downgrade to Hartmut's x* files version
3.3.3.1-0.3 (2[345]-Feb-99) available at
<http://powerpc.debian.org/~koptein/xfree/>

To answer Sven, option "noaccel" in my XF86Config didn't seem to make a
difference. The chipset in my PB3400 is, AFAIK, the same in all PB3400s:

 MacOS display is /bandit/chips65550
 Using unsupported 800x600 chips65550 at 81800200, depth=16, pitch=1664
 Console: switching to colour frame buffer device 100x37

I'm sorry I can't debug the current versions any better.
