I don't know how they are related to you benX version available via rsync, 
but in ben9 the X server goes to a loop right after resuming on a iBook 
G3-500 with 7500-M. I was reported it happens also on G3-800 with radeon.

Also, dmasound stopped working in the G3-500, it gives a "No space left in 
device" error while trying to write to /dev/dsp. My last working version 
is 2.4.20-rc1-ben0. I think I already reported to you, but just in case.

Regards,

Make sure you have APM emulation enabled in the kernel /dev/apm_bios
exist. If you are using DRI, also make sure to have AGPMode "4".

That's not a known problem... and I can't reproduce it on my tipb which
supposedly uses the same HW...
