That problem I fixed for me with a patch you can find here:

http://www.cpu.lu/~mlan/linux/dev/xf4.html

Actually, I did roll this patch into my modifications. Could it be that
the development tree on penguinppc.org doesn't have these patches at
the moment?

That could be; I never got any positive feedback of any patch that fixes
this problem getting close enough to official XFree to be swallowed ;-)

The patch I'm using isn't clean enough for that... and it might even not
work for all resolutions/depths; never tried...

AFAICS everything except the very last chunk (is it important?) of your patch
has been integrated in one form or another into XFree86 CVS as a patch of mine
(the one I asked you to test, Michel) was accepted. Have you looked at the
XFree86 CVS lately?
